Las Manos Protectoras de Marina

The day before Camilo's sixth birthday we went to an overgrown field near Faversham. I wanted my son to be surrounded by shrubs. I wanted to photograph him in a field. And we did. But to round up the shoot I had to have Marina with her brother. The very last frame. And the result is nothing short of fabulous: she lays a mantle of goodness over her young brother, she looks serious the way she always is, she becomes the protector and overall ángel de la guarda.
Bless them both.

This shot was part of a series that young Jack did at the time and was entirely related to beards.  Jack went around town asking men to pose...
