On top of the world

One day I caught sight of Junior Nyirenda and his friends playing on the shores of Lake Malawi. Their laughter mingled with the rhythmic lapping of the waves as they ran barefoot through the warm sand. But it was Junior who caught my attention. He stood on a piece of driftwood in the middle of the water, his arms spread like a bird just spreading its wings.

I decided to capture him, not just in image, but also in feeling. This was not an ordinary moment. Junior, with his innocent confidence, seemed for a moment a king in his own world.

Cheers,
