The subject of this photograph has this distant look in her eyes as she looks off camera. She has two small cuts on the inside of her top lip. Her expression, to me, reads of loss or grief. The use of color is minimal and I would say that color is not something that is super important in this photograph. Mainly, if it was in black and white I think it would still be as affective if not more. That being said the use of color adds warmth and realism into the photograph. The viewer can tell the subject is in her home by the subtle pattern on the back of the door in the right background. There is some wood paneling along the window on the right. The light source looks like a combination of natural light and strobe because the subject's shoulder in the left corner is well lit, there is a strong shadow created under her hair onto her cheek and her right cheek is well lit also. The grey of her shirt is cool while the wood paneling and her hair and skin tone is warm.
