Parents

In this lighting class I'm taking we have had some other assignments other than taking a picture of a pepper but I don't really like anything i shot for those other assignments. This past week though we had the opportunity to photograph a parent. I immediately thought of a family who i did a story on about a year ago. Allison is the youngest daughter of two at age 15 and has high frequency autism and she is not your average 15 year old girl in more ways than one. Her and her mom, Cari, are both training in shaolin kung fu and are both pretty good at it. Interesting right? Here is a portrait i took Wednesday of the two of them in Allison's room. Its a complex photograph that i think says a lot about both the relationship between mother and daughter and the unique passions that Allison has. Hope you enjoy it.
