This photo consists of a black and white portrait which has been worked on top of with coloured thread. I would say that this photo is abstract, unique, concealed, strange, unusual, different, mysterious, etc. I like that the thread that Jose has worked onto the photo with looks illustrative. I would describe the tones of the colours in this photo as quite soft and pastel, I think that they work well with the unsaturated background as it allows the two to contrast, due to the thread standing out this makes it the main focal point/one of the first things you see upon looking at the photo. I think that it's really interesting that the background of the piece (the portrait) is quite serious and focuses and the overlay (the thread) is playful and fun, this is what makes Jose's work unique from other photographers.
