Project 3 - Portrait Assignment




This assignment was to take portraits of a person in a variety of environments.
Well, I was in Africa at the time, So I only had the subject of my sister to follow. I had not intended on using her as my subject, as being my sister, I have certain biases about how she should appear.
These images show my sister in her small town Hokwe of Mozambique, where she is teaching English.
She is surrounded by poverty, and the environment she is in gives her no power, because the culture is patrilineal.
Yet she shows a bright smile whenever you look at her.
