Me, Inside His Eyes

I captured this poignant photo titled 'Me, Inside His Eyes' to showcase the unique reflection of myself in a child's gaze. The child’s eyes, deep and curious, reflect not just my image but the emotion of our interaction. The composition of the image is centered, drawing the viewer's attention directly to the eyes, which serve as a focal point, bringing an intimate connection between the viewer and the subject. The lighting is soft, highlighting the natural texture and warmth of the child's skin. This allowed me to create a portrait that feels both immediate and personal. The background is slightly blurred, which helps in emphasizing the sharpness and clarity of the eyes, a technique I often employ to evoke depth. By focusing on this intimate moment, I aimed to capture an enduring interaction between two unique perspectives. There's a simplicity yet complexity in this frame, and photographing such moments of quiet intensity always fascinates me. This moment belongs to a series of images I took to explore personal narratives through the lens of intimate eye contact.
