This is a wonderful pair of photographs that allows each individual viewer to use their imagination to create a story as to how the pictures came to be. Where were they taken? Is the car journey before or after the first photo was taken? What time of year is it?...

The subject, her poses and her facial expressions fit the photographs and their surroundings like a glove. The paradox in the upper image of the subject wearing a coat to cover her upper body and much less on her lower body in what is clearly a cold place really makes the image quite striking indeed. Even in the lower image where the subject is in the car she is leaning out of the window which makes you think - does she simply enjoy being cold?

Both images are very technically proficient with spot-on exposure for the nature of the pictures. The central composition works suitably well in the upper image against the starkness of the background and it's nice to see that this theme has continued through to the lower image with the subject's face being in the centre.

These are two very original photographs which match each other perfectly and, placed together, make a suitably thought-provoking and striking piece of art.
What do you think?

You asked us a little while back, "What is it about Susan that you" (being us, your watchers) "find so fascinating?"

These photographs I think encapsulate one of those reasons very well - she has kind of a darkness to her, a mysteriousness, that is very alluring. I guess her dark hair, eyes, and clothes contrasted against her pale skin makes her seem almost ghostly, which is something intrinsically interesting to my eyes :- )
