Touching Nursing Home Portraits that Show ‘Smiles Don’t Get Old’
The most appreciated photography project on all of Behance this week is also probably the most touching portrait project you’ve seen in a while. A simple series of portraits, the project embarked to send one simple message: smiles don’t get old.
“We visited several nursing homes, where for a few hours turned their cozy living in a mobile studio,” they explain. “As you know, the usual schedule was completely disrupted excitement and preparation for our meeting […] elderly ladies were choosing outfits and powdering cheeks, and great grandfathers teased their beards and corrected medals. [It was] a wonderful experience and a great atmosphere created by smiles that never grow old.”
