Extraordinary Encounter with a Stranger on the Streets

I saw her walking by & had that instinct I’ve learned to trust: I need to ask. Some moments just feel like they’re worth stepping into. What started as a simple impromptu portrait turned into a much deeper conversation. She shared her story dealing with alopecia since the age of 12, and how that experience shaped the way she saw herself, and the impact on her confidence, her identity, and the beliefs she carried about herself over the years. 📸 Shot on Sony A7RV + Sony 50mm f/1.4 📍 Filmed in Portland, Oregon 🎤 Mood: Honest, reflective ⚡ Vibe: Vulnerable, purposeful, human #humanconnection
