The Photographer
The inspiration behind this piece is simple.
It was cold, we were beginning to lose the feelings in our fingers yet nothing was going to stop her getting the shot she wanted.
Huge hugs to the gorgeous animo for letting me take this shot!
The beautiful city of Melbourne in the backdrop.
