Irma Ferreira, The face of a life lived (PEOPLE 2025)

New Zealand has a very eclectic population. If you stop and talk to someone, you hear of their life's up and downs. This gentleman was shocked when I said I loved his character face. Spending your days in the streets, you're surrounded by people but filled with loneliness. Complimenting him on his looks, made him feel proud for a moment and a smile on his face which hasn't been there for a long time.
