Lee Wei Swee, Photographer, Paris

Description

This portrait photograph by Lee Wei Swee in Paris features two stacked panels of a young child in a bathtub. In the top panel, the child has a thick layer of soapy bubbles covering the lower half of their face while smiling broadly to reveal teeth. In the bottom panel, the bubbles are gone, revealing wet dark hair and a playful expression as the child pulls on their ear. The lighting is bright and direct, typical of flash photography, highlighting the soapy water and porcelain bathtub.
