23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Street Photography
I am Giti Mosta'ed, a 23-year-old photographer from Herat, Afghanistan. I am passionate about observing everyday life and capturing simple, honest moments of ordinary people. I don’t consider myself an artist, but photography has become my quiet way of expressing empathy and showing the unseen beauty in daily struggles. I prefer to keep my work private, because I believe true photography speaks through emotion rather than social media
