20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Through the Dark

I really wanted to create something emotional with this shoot. For me, this photo symbolizes our inner child in our darkest moments. Being hard on ourselves is being hard on that little kid inside of us all. It shows just how strong we have always been, even as kids.
