By taking her inspiration from classical painting, Elene Usdin paints on her photographs the emotions hidden behind the calm of her adolescent models. Transforming each of her prints into a unique piece, she questions a certain view that photography is defined by its reproducibility. As reinforced by the contrast between the brief instant of taking the shot and the hours spent decorating each portrait with wonderful outlines.
