    Honorable Mention in People / Self-Portrait

I believe that vulnerability makes us a nicer human beings and that this makes the world a little more friendly and more understanding. People who show themselves vulnerable give the other the confidence that they themselves may be who they are. The vulnerability that I see in people I want to show in my photos. When I meet people who touch and inspire me me in one way I want to show the things they touch in me. I specially become enthousiast when I see more layers of their personality at the same time. I found it very exciting to try to capture this in my portraits.
