This portrait captures a quiet moment of harmony with nature, as soft light filters through the bamboo leaves. The subject’s upward gaze and gentle reach evoke a sense of curiosity and connection. I love how the interplay of shadows and greenery frames her graceful pose, creating an image that feels serene and timeless.
This photography is featured in The Melbourne Portraits Project: A Photographic Ode, a photo book celebrating the stories and creative spirit of Melbourne, available on my website (link below). The project invites you to explore moments like this—fleeting, layered, and deeply human—through the lens of artistry and emotion.
