Asraf is a dear friend of Brittany and mine. He runs a small media store in a refugee camp in the Beit Lehem area and is a new father and husband. His son, Osama, is growing quickly and looks at least a year older than he is.

Your use of colour, and the lack of colour, is wonderful here... it picks out the humanity of individuals living among what feels like very sparse and sombre surroundings. also, the significance of a few possessions.

for this reason, the picture carries a more symbolic resonance as well as being a simple and very pretty portrait.

i could also mention how the cropping perhaps reflects the marginalsation of women.
