Shaun Webber, Contentment (Portrait 2020)

Amongst all the noise and myriad of human emotions and experience, I am drawn to capturing genuine contentment in my subjects. I think contentment goes beyond simply being happy. It goes deeper than that. It's inner peace, fulfilment in that moment, self awareness of what you have. When I witness it in my subjects, there seems to be a tangible stillness in those moments. There's a quiet beauty to it.
