23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People

In my opinion, one of the most enjoyable things a photographer can do is photograph someone they love. My wife, Farzaneh, is a biology teacher. During the Covid pandemic, she had to teach online. It was a very difficult job that I witnessed firsthand. Classes where she didn't supervise the students enough, very difficult assessments, and constantly looking at her phone screen made her very tired. This portrait is a true reminder of that difficult time that the whole world was affected by.
