  • It’s amazing how light and composition can create the formative setting for a powerful image of a subtle, yet exquisite, moment. Looking at all those entry points into this image, the minister’s hands, the candles, the edge of the table and all of it framed by the small group of people in the room who all look in her direction with subdued facial expression. What a beautiful image of a simple and elegant moment.
