Interpreting Marin Parr's Photograph

Marin Parr's photograph is a picture of a mouth smiling with the bottom of their nose at the top of the frame. It is a human mouth. The person in the photo is caucasian, however you cannot tell what gender it is because it is up close. The lips are red and skinny. There are particles on the person's teeth and in their gums. There is a very tiny gap between the person's two front teeth. The lipstick is applied almost perfectly, with no smears. The background is dark.

The person might have been laughing while the picture was being shot. It is probably a woman if they are wearing lipstick. They just ate because they have stuff in their teeth. She was maybe at a restaurant because she would not be wearing lipstick if she was just eating at home. She is at least in her mid-twenties because her facial features look more mature.

My guess is that this is a photograph of an older woman who went out to eat. She is wearing lipstick which women wear when they are out in public or at an event. She has small wrinkles around her mouth which suggest she is older. The stains on her teeth also could signal that she is older. She has particles in her teeth which means she probably just ate. Lastly, she is smiling which could mean that she is out with friends having a good time.
