Cara Romero is a Chemehuevi photographer known for her theatrical compositions infused with dramatic color and combined with digital enhancements. However, earlier in her career, Romero focused on her formal training in film, resulting in works like this lovely portrait.  is a conventional photograph of Romero’s daughter. It offers a direct emotional connection between the viewer and the girl, who has reached a certain point in her life. The power of  rests in its plain-spokenness and in the open gaze of the girl as she looks into the camera’s lens.
