A year of 50 posed portraits with only one light; a project designed to improve my camera work while blessing the people I encounter. You can see older portraits here, read the rules of the project here, or leave a comment below with your feedback.
The leaf means redeemed. It's compensation for all my deficiencies. The leaf means shameless. Not naked or trendy, simply covered. And there's no need to force fitting-in when you're wearing a giant leaf. The leaf means balance. Safe to be dangerous, loved to be loving, an advocate of both justice and mercy. This leaf is lasting - it won't fall off or fade. A holy veneer, it always protects and guards. Represented and taken care of. The leaf is Christ, my perfect covering.
My favorite so far! I love the textures, the rich warm hues, and the story the picture tells. Very nice!
Thanks! I should probably try harder to avoid favoritism on these missions, but I couldn’t help it. She was by far my favorite child to take pictures of and spend time with.
LOVE this one too! :)
