  Raisa Šehu, Bosnia and Herzegowina

I was hired to photograph the performance of little ballerinas. There were really a lot of them and they were all adorable, but what set this girl apart, was her happiness. It looked like she had never been able to jump that high until precisely that moment! She was enchanted by her success, and her entire performance was somehow soft and gentle, like this pink blanket that served as her prop. Her little friends were curiously peeking behind the scenes, admiring her, and in all their happiness and excitement, today I can't be happier that I took a piece of their happines through this photo.
