Finalist interviews

It was definitely a candid encounter as was the expression on the face. It was constructed insofar as the image was deliberately taken from a distance so as to minimize intrusion and to magnify the effect of the image.

The more poignant moments are not the stock standard images of people looking at the camera smiling but after or before when they are really interacting with each other.
