Taken by The Heart

Posted by The Eyewitness (Barcelona, Spain) on 4 November 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

I was attending this session titled "Africa not as seen on TV" and while the guy was talking everybody was really taken. Telling his experience in Tanzania was kind of telling a story from another world for the audience in Canada. Meanwhile the facial expressions of this girl were very unique and soft at the same time. It was more a face of a person who was not just taken but reflecting on what he is watching at the very moment. Technically there was no enough light, but the lighting was amazing so I fixed my hand on the arm chair and took the photo and it was still enough as you can see it.

i can say more than this is an amazing facial expression i have ever seen in my life,her face speaks so loud.this made me think about how god created us unique,who says that we talk and speak just with our mouth is 100% mistaken,we can speak with our eyes,with our mouth,with our teeth,with our eye brows,with every single muscle in our face,He gave us all the opportunity to express about what we feel,thank you God for this gift,thx Toni

Thanks for the comment Roro, I really like. I liked a lot the idea of our face muscles telling what we want to say. It is really deep.

Actually, I'm sorry to disagree. The profiled portrait you've taken is very well done, but the expression speaks to me of boredom. Her eyelids look heavy.
