Here Are the Young Men is a book that will come out in 2013. The title is a reference of the Joy Division song. The author, Claire Felicie, photographed the faces of 20 Dutch Marines before, during and after theirs duties at Afghanistan.
The time lapse is 12 months. If you can't notice difference at all, well... I don't blame you. Some would say to focus the eyes... but if you really notice some photos, the eyes just get the Supernatural series demon eyes effect, only shadows. Too much dark effect to increase the drama I guess? Maybe. The only thing you can really notice is a fancy effect calling: getting older. You are suffering this right now! Yay.
The first session was still on Netherlands. Nine months later she met them returning from a patrol in Afghanistan. A rushing session after a patrol under Afghan sun and with a face drenched in sweat and bronzed noses. 3 months later the last session.
“They were saying they were good; they were fine,”(...) “But then I let them sit and look through the camera. When they sat down they said nothing and I said nothing also, it was then I saw, their faces had changed.” - Claire
