Bianca

Personal Portrait of Bianca.
People are judged and condemned because they do not live up to certain ideals. But what is normal? What is different? Society’s attitude towards deviations from the norm is merciless. And we are part of that society. And precisely because this is the case, we have the opportunity to change it from within. But first, we have to recognize again the beauty and uniqueness that constitutes “being different”

The title image was a winning picture of Life Framer’s “Colors – 2021”

“Working with a limited palette of yellows that accentuate her subject’s skin condition, Amina’s portrait is a celebration of difference, of loving our uniqueness and individuality in a world where ‘society’s attitude towards deviations from the norm is merciless’. Almost all of us will relate to that in one way or another, wishing to fit in rather than stand out, dreaming something about our physical appearance was different. And yet here her subject Bianca, with her mottled skin and piercing eyes, exudes confidence and comfort within her own skin. It’s a wonderful message, executed in a thoughtful and effective way.” – LIFE FRAMER
