Photographer's Narrative

 

Overwhelming emotion and pure happiness are just a few words that can be used to describe what it’s like when a loved one returns home from the battlefield. I’ve always enjoyed capturing those peak moments when husbands and wives get to embrace each other for the first time after several months.
