Photographer's Narrative

 

The sun was just going down and it gave me warm soft lighting during the flight. The mix of harsh light but deep intense glowing light at the same time gave the medic’s hands a special glow. For me that was the ideal situation. The importance of everything going on and the way the light hit the bottle with her so concentrated in the moment was perfect.
