Branden Zavaleta-Power, Midnight Madonna (October theme: Light and Dark)

I took this in Freo on a photo walk. The neon sign was for a run bar, and I used a handheld LED light in front to light up Claudia’s face in red. Her expression and the halo effect of the light reminds me of romantic paintings of Jesus where the halo would be a glowing circle behind his head.
