"Very late in the afternoon just as the light was starting to fade, I spotted this young girl from the Suri tribe, at a distance. She appeared like a nymph in the wild lush wilderness. I didn’t have any time to change my lens otherwise she would have disappeared. I quickly held up my camera and took this shot, holding my breath, hoping she wouldn't look away. I felt a rush of excitement when I pressed the shutter twice, as she stared into the lens for a short few seconds,  as I knew I had captured the moment" - Giovanna
