Expression of the Day

PHOTO IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE

 

 

Here is an interesting photo of woman who appears to be in the spotlight.  There are three faces in this photograph that reveal information.

The subject of the photo seems to be the subject of the crowd as well as we see a photographer taking her photo in the background.  The subject projects confidence as well as a subtle positive emotions with perhaps a hint of surprise. I wonder if she recognizes someone in front of her.

We can surmise this is a positive experience for the photo’s subject because there are no signs of sadness, distress or anger in her face.  There are no negative emotions expressed. She has symmetrical features as well which is supportive of a person who is outgoing.  Do you remember the outgoing kids from school?  Most of them had symmetrical features, too, which we consider to be more attractive. People who are insecure or shy often express doubt or low level subtle fear in their face. They express their uncomfortableness in the face.

The camera woman also has a subtle expression of happiness, too. You can see a subtle smile.  She looks pleased that she is getting the photograph. The photographer has a humbleness about her, doesn’t she?  How do we articulate why that is?

The woman on the far left of the photograph does not look excited to be there. She appears to be tired of the crowds.  Her eyelids are heavy and her head is ever-so-slightly tilted. She almost looks “bored” for a better word. She clearly sees the person who took this photo.   By her reaction, she either doesn’t know the subject of this photo, or could careless about her…

What do you see when you look at this photograph?
