Black and White Portraits

These are some black & white prints that I made last year. What I really like about analogue photography is the rawness of is. There's little idiosyncrasies with each photo, the odd blemish or scratch, no manipulation to achieve "perfection". It's real, tactile and I love it.
The first picture is my favourite. These are my two cousins and I love the plain almost emotionlessness about them. It's like a picture from decades ago. The other portraits are less posed and I hope they give off an impression of what the people were like at the time. The last one is a similar recreation of a colour photo I took of my cousin in the same spot some years earlier. I thought it would be nice to see the changes.
