This image was captured while serving Jesus on a mission trip in Tanzania, Africa in 2024. On this particular day we were visiting a small community in extreme need and poverty. Our mission was primarily medical based and of course sharing the good news about our risen savior Jesus Christ. I would help our team with needs while toting my camera. As I was running back and fourth fulfilling needs I saw this little girl, I snapped with my camera inconspicuously as I walked by. I did not want to get her attention and lose the powerful expression.
I captured this image with my Nikon Z8 and a 24-70mm F 2.8 lens. This was shot at 70 mm, 1/400 sec at F 2.8. This subject was located in open shade with the sun behind her. I minimally processed this image, simply added some contrast and enhanced it a bit
A publication or organisation would pick this up and the photo editor would crop just above the girl's head and to the right of her left elbow. Also would knock back that highlight by her right elbow. That would make a powerful image.
