Girl from Hamburg (Single)
DESCRIPTION
The picture shows my mother-in-law at a time when she already suffered from dementia for a few years. Despite her condition she always posed for my camera with an immense patience and grace. She enjoyed being in front of the camera and doing me the favour and honour to take her portrait. I'm very happy I have these pictures as a reminder of her beautiful personality.
AUTHOR
Elke Vogelsang is a self-taught photographer from Germany. When her husband fell seriously ill a few years ago, she used photography as a photographic diary for him as well as a means to try to get her mind off things and to cope with the stressful time. The passion for photography turned into a healing creative outlet. She specializes in people and pet photography, but her camera is her constant companion now.
