20th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Artistic
Candelabra

I wanted to showcase the vulnerability and strength of the female experience. A burning candle, too close. It is feminine but also my subject allows herself to trust. If you notice, the firelight near her shoulder illuminates one of her blue eyes into hues of golden light. This gives the impression that Kloie was two separate eye colors, which was totally by happenstance and deliciously unexpected!
