I first discovered the Memory of Colors Project from the article by Article by Peter van den Hamer in Luminous Landscape on one photographer's special gift in portraits of people who's cultures and styles are unique and perhaps may be lost to future generations. I wondered about the unbelievable beauty of the Girl from Ethiopia's Mursi tribe.
This says it all! Great composition, nobility, beauty, mystery, magic and natural color that cannot be improved upon. This is from the large collective work by Jaime Ocampo-Rangel, photographing different cultural treasures of people on a simple but fitting, (generally, monochromatic), background.
I get turned off when folk use masterpiece for their own work, but here, this must be allowed! See the full story here.
What are your favorites and what's your opinion. Look at the two pictures again and note the crop. What does this mean to you? Please make sure you look at the whole array of portraits from different cultures. Not doing so would be a great mistake and loss.
