Reflecting the Power of Portraiture

Image
  In homage to Steve McCurry's iconic 1985 National Geographic image of Sharbat Gula (famously known as the Afghan girl). Digging through some of my older image libraries, I came across this image which is so very current and to me portrays the poignant struggles of Gaza.

This image was part of a reportage competition and stands as a testament to the powerful stories that portraiture can tell. The June 1985 issue of  National Geographic  magazine made the "Afghan Girl" world famous.

Despite my inexperience, I decided to hire professional lighting to ensure the photos turned out well. As I set up the equipment, I couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed. Directing models was new territory for me, and the models themselves were just as nervous. Some of them were clients who had never done a day's modeling, while others were professional models provided by TH1 Hairdressing. The atmosphere was charged with a mix of anxiety and anticipation. One of the most important aspects of the shoot was making everyone feel at ease. I knew that capturing genuine emotion and natural poses required a relaxed environment. I spent time chatting with the models, cracking jokes, and creating a friendly atmosphere. This approach worked wonders, and slowly, the nerves began to dissipate. The day turned into...
