Kirsty Young, Touch (PEOPLE 2024)

This image is of a father and his two boys walking along a long and dimly lit underpass just down the road from Parliament House in Canberra on a glorious sunny Autumn day. One lad instinctively jumped up to touch the ceiling in such a carefree and effortless way, and I just happened to have my camera in hand to capture the moment.
