Threshold
A portrait suspended between shadow and light, it captures the intimate moment where pressure teeters on the edge of despair. The subject’s face is half-concealed by hands, half-revealed by dramatic lighting, suggesting inner conflict, isolation, or perhaps the mental burden of a quiet breakdown. By obscuring identity and focusing on gesture and contrast, the image invites viewers to confront their own emotional thresholds, making the invisible weight of the mind temporarily visible.
I’m a Montana native and college student who just discovered photography a month ago—and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’m captivated by people and love how a photo can reveal what the eye alone can’t see. Even as a beginner, I’ve found so much magic in capturing raw, fleeting moments.
