Nominee

"The Shadow"
The toddler is intrigued by the shadows he can make with his hands

Biography: I live in a bubble. I work with children & I'm in their world which is one of shadows and leaves, lines in the cement and sounds of cars. It's a nice hide-out, innocence. I've always done my best work when I've been able to become like a piece of furniture in a room, giving me access to capture the details of essence of my subject without being obtrusive. Most of my subjects are just doing ordinary things. It's in the ordinary where I see the exceptional.
