The portrait of the forgotten  

This beautiful photograph it was took by Raymon Depardon. Raymon is a recognized French filmmaker and photographer too. Raymon always talk, in their movies and photos, about the world of the mental hospital. He listen the patient and make movies of them.

This photo shows one patient with different mental capacities immersed in his interior world demonstrate in his posture. The photo was taken in 1980 near of Turin.

The picture it’s a perfect portrait of the personality and how that person feels. The black and white photo helps to embrace the feeling and not get distracted whit the colors.

I like this picture because it’s really near of the character, not a distant camera. The camera is right there whit the character, so the photographer wants to the spectator feels the same feel that the photograph person.

I would like to this photographer and these photos were more renowned. Maybe, the world would be better if all the people see the pictures of the real life and not the fake plastic photograph.
