"C'est l'expression"






































A picture tells a million stories. So true.
I was looking through my virtual scrapbook of inspirations when I saw this pictures, that, for me, speak for themselves. They portray so many emotions and feelings. The first one, is sort of sexy, kind of seductive. Like if the girl was saying 'I know you want me' or daring someone to do sth. She also is grabbing that jacket so close to her like to show possesion. And the eyes. Beautiful.
The second, is kinda angry, I think. Like rage, resentment. I don't know if its the makeup combined with the hair, but she certantly looks mad to me.
The naked blond is defiant. The open mouth, the eyes, the flying hair. The jacket falling.
Sienna and the cigarrette is just perfect. Is like joy and trying to surprise someone. It's sweet. And carefree. Just happiness.
As for the fifth, I think most of it is because of the tattoo. Milancolia. Then you look at her expression. And sure, it's melancholic. Extreme depression characterized by tearful sadness and irrational fears. She does look sort of sad, but mostly, vulnerable. But she manages to make all that sexy.
The sixth one, well, it's spontaneous, and authentic. She really looks like she was cracking a laugh. She seems relaxed.
The boxer, to me, looks simply determined. Determined to win, to kick someone's ass. She looks like if she was uncharging all that feelings that were trapped for so long.
The crying woman is just confused, puzzled. Like if she didn't understand what happened. She is sad and devastated because of something, but she doesn't seem concious of why that something happened.
And the last, Marion Cotillard looks lost. She looks as if she didn't know what she is doing, or why she is doing it. She is asking for help in this picture.
The only thing all of these pictures have in commonn is that they are misterious. They have backgrounds. They are part of a story, that we can only guess and imagine.
The most astonishing pictures, expiriences, movies, books.. are those that makes us feel, learn. The ones that really get to us. Just like this pictures can if you let them.
with love,
WG.
