Hungry child, Cuenca, Ecuador, 2011

This toddler was standing in the doorway of a basement room, eating her breakfast. She was wearing a vividly colored sweater and carrying an equally colorful backpack. I wanted to stress her somewhat apprehensive expression, and the coloration competed with it. By making this image black and white, I have made the image less specific in nature, and more universal. It is about a child’s cautious view of the world, not about clothing or color.
