Lydia Goldblatt

Lydia's project Still Here seems to focus on old age, death and time. She does this though portraits, some of which aren't of the face at all and small objects like decaying flowers or a watch. She also uses depth of field as a way to communicate also which I think works very well since the work clearly speaks for itself. As a whole the work uses a lot of shadow which can either obscure or become a cause  for contemplation.
