Your Shot Series: Breaking Barriers
March is Women’s History Month and to honor the women in our community and around the globe, Your Shot Associate Photo Editor, Kristen McNicholas, will be curating one image a day from the Your Shot community that celebrates women. Each day in March the photographs will be shared on the @natgeoyourshot Instagram account.
This photograph of twins that Your Shot Photographer Mariam Berodze made is a lovely testament to sisterhood. She made an intimate portrait that displays the twins’ tenderness and affection as sisters, friends and women.
I can’t agree more with what Your Shot Senior Producer, Matt Adams said about the photograph, “I love film, just the contrast and colors you are able to get from it can’t just be replicated by digital. Sure we have filters now and can get close, but nothing beats that feeling of holding a negative in your hand after developing film. I love this portrait and the expressions you were able to capture here.” I appreciate the effect the film has on the image. The medium gives this portrait a softer, more intimate vibe.
The images I chose to feature this month celebrate female-identifying Your Shot photographers telling a visual story of empowerment, the freedom and flexibility of womanhood, photographers and their images #BreakingBarriers whether it’s identifying women’s issues in their images or a beautiful landscape or underwater image. — Your Shot Associate Photo Editor, Kristen McNicholas
