I am Jibaro Borinqueno by Jose Juniel Rivera-Negron

This photo was taken while visiting my beautiful Island of Borinquén that is called now Puerto Rico. Most of the tittle is in Spanish because it wouldn't sound the same in English, but' Jíbaro' is a farmer who grows in his own farm and 'Borinqueño' is also called a person that was born in Puerto Rico. This was at my grandmother's work field where I spent most of my childhood. I asked my uncle if he could pose a little with his "machete" in one hand and a whole branch of green bananas on his other. A very traditional phoyograph of a Jibaro Borinqueño.

The Beauty of Innocence by Zara Otaifah

As a photographer I get to take many family shots for clients to the point I lose track of them so easily. However there are certain photos that you get to take as a photographer and they remain so vividly memorable to you. That when you develop a relationship with the model | client. The more you feel you are inspired and impressed by your client the greater the result would be. and that's how I felt to this little beautiful precious girl. It was such a joy to photograph her. I let my camera freely following her in every single step she took in order to delightfully capture her beauty and innocence.
