## Caption

I used to believe my job was simple: notice what others missed and capture it.

But something else was happening in front of the lens.
Not invention. Not correction.

A shift.

A person becoming visible to themselves in a way that held.

And once you see that happen enough times, you can’t pretend it’s just about beauty anymore.
