"The Person in Front of You: Photographs from West Africa," offer a vivid view of day to day live in a land that most will never see, with great displays of thatch roofed houses and beautiful hand woven dresses.
My first favorite photograph here is the shot of a young woman in a purple dress against a wall of different chipped off colors. I find that this shot captures this young lady in a great moment. She seems a bit pensive, yet open. The colors of this shot are astounding in my opinion.
I also loved the shot of the lady making potery with her young child sticking its head out from behind her. The woman is very stoic, but reveals much in her face: inquisition, protection and warmness. The kid is totally spooked.
Overall, I found this to be a great set of pictures and found that the close portraits to be outstanding over all.
