Matthew Ryan, A Moment (PEOPLE 2021)

A moment in time - brief, joyful, and innocent. Captured with no planning or prompting, just a spontaneous press of the shutter. The light and composition finding my daughter in middle of her playing. For a split second, she looks at me through the camera with surprise and wonder - an esoteric expression that children know, and adults forget.
