The girl from Morocco

There is a long story behind this series, but I’ll keep it short. After meeting Khaoulah at a Holi festival in Ningbo, she accepted to let me photograph her. I was still developing my own style of portraiture, and I had just acquired a Hasselblad, so needless to say I was quite excited.  Here was this girl, with long gorgeous curls, so much energy and an intense gaze, it allowed me to capture a very interesting series of portraits. The session was an interesting journey of discovery for both of us on various levels.
