Such compassion and a beautiful moment. As a photojournalist you revealed your own passion for this boy by making such a story telling image. I can’t imagine what this boy has endured in his short life but your portrait really helps tell his story with the hope for a better life.
Again, Thank you Adam. In your portraits there is this space between you and the protagonist, a space which let the place for the connection with the soul, which reveal the intensity of it. I believe that require a certain skill, the skill maybe to be present but not intrusive, guiding but in the same time to let it go... I still struggle with being able to do that, to find this "space", it's so complicated to be guiding the process but still being able to let it be natural, there is so often a stiffness or awkwardness...how do you deal with it?
Powerful work. Appreciate the process. Interesting intersection... just read the Anand Giridharadas interview about you turning to US and I just read the newly released book My Time will Come, Ian Manuel. He was sentenced to life without parole as a 13 yr old for a non homicidal crime (Florida). The question of "how the human soul survives atrocity?" is beyond me.
Powerful insight to know you saw the thing you wanted and waited. Do you ever worry you'll lose it and not get it back? That even though you can ask, somehow in the restaging it won't work?

Beautiful portrait. Harrowing story. Thank you.
Incredible work Adam!
