22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Gina

I had spent a lot of time in studios and shooting really polish studio photography. And I really enjoyed the technically sound and sort of upscale look to those images. I often just found myself really drawn to the grit and imperfections that come with being human. So that’s what a lot of this image is about vulnerability and imperfection.
