Image by Katie Brenkert
Moments in simplicity. The first thing that immediately drew me to this beautiful portrait was the subject’s poignant stare, it is powerful with its sensibility. It conveys such strength and softness all at the same time.The way her and is covering her mouth off, It’s a gesture that I am so used to, I see repeated over and over by women not wanting or feel unready to be photographed. What I know is that this image makes me want to know about her, it makes me want to figure out what story is behind those eyes. Simple beautiful moments like these matter, and we can’t wait to share this image with our attendees.
