I didn't know these photographers before. Literally a minute ago i googled ''dead photography'' and this is what I got. What amazed me about these photographs is that they are divided in two parts: alive and dead. The models were people with deadly diseases, so they died shortly after the alive part was made. The photographers Walter Schels and Beate Lakotta are not discovering America with this kind of photography. Post-mortem photography existed for hundreds of years and was always a way to remember someone. Any kind of photography that takes your attention is worth mentioning.
There are more of these. Altogether some may get depressed after
looking at them. For me it is a way to understanding life.
