Thanks Louis, Jeff and Ece. Ece, I took your advice - Dad is here now too :-)

Following up on what Jeff said, this IS a very special series,
not just for you personally, but also for the viewer who can identify with the photographer
and (ultimately) with the subject, as a matter of course. I wish you'd include an image of your Dad, to complete the pair.

The series of your parents shot in their apartment shares this incredible light. It is at the same time very soft yet predominant. Nothing is overblown or too dark, with almost a perfect amount of contrast. There is a two-dimensional flattening as a result, which is nicely compensated by the shallow depth of field.
In a way, this special light envelops and comforts your parents, thus enhancing the emotional sensitivity you have bravely shown us. Jeff
