Iheartfaces is challenging photographers to conjure up their images of white in a color capture.
During my photojournalism teaches at the high school I work at, I sometimes take my students outside and use them as models as I lecture [ramble]. I don't look for them to pose - actually preferring that they be oblivious to my camera. My shutter never stops working as I talk about composition, backgrounds, filling the frame, and telling a story. I love the results after a teach like this... always amazing captures of my beautiful and unique teenage charges.
This particular photo is one of my absolute favorites because I took it right around the same time that the student was working on a column about choosing to wear her hijab and dressing herself in clothing that kept her modestly covered all year. She's such a wonderful, intelligent girl, who has dealt with the stares of inconsiderate peers who don't get her "fashion" and don't bother to simply ask her the significance of her dress. I adore her strength. I envy the light she brings into the classroom. I love her naturally-beautiful outward appearance that matches so well with her soul.

Stunning choice for white!
Absolutely Beautiful!
Beautiful is right! What a gorgeous girl!
Such a beautiful shot - so reflective.
I agree with all above! So beautiful! So reflective, so true.
love the detail of hijab you were able to capture so sharply. the contrast of the white with her dark, rich skin is amazing. cute smile, moment:)
What a beautiful young lady. She simply "glows". Wish we could teach all young women out there to feel as brave and confident in their own natural beauty, as she is.
She is beautiful great shot!
You did again!! Incredible capture of a beautiful young lady...
Love it!
