Kind Words
“Fragility, transition and acceptance are all gently at play within this scene, the young boy turns away from the lens and cradles his pet as if protecting them from external threat or influence – much like the nurture and protection of his mother over him. The photographer is honest with their intention to keep their children as they are but also celebrates their new stages of life with her tender imagery. A poetic photograph from motherhood, full of texture and tone.”
– LIFE FRAMER
“A magical moment [captured by Kennon Guerry], the sparkler almost appears like the heart of this boy, radiating from the centre of this photograph. The photographer’s expert skills and knowledge of natural light are apparent as the shadows softly envelope the edges of the scene, leaving a muted glow across the smooth surface of bare skin. A poetic portrait.”
– LIFE FRAMER
“A simple scene immortalized by the photographer’s camera. The lamp and its reflection in the surrounding windows appear to almost symbolize the ‘what was’ and ‘what is to come’ concept the photographer sees when observing their child. The jumping cat shatters the silence of this still moment, a reminder of reality and life going on. A stunning yet simple depiction of youth – from the known and unknown.”
