{Diwali: A holiday known as the Festival of Lights to celebrate victory of light over darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance.}
From planning this shoot with Renuka a year ago, I’ve learned so much about Diwali; and the more I learned, the more emotional I became. This holiday spans beyond ethnicity, religion, or culture. It’s about human kindness, community, our connection to one another, and standing together for what is right.
Photographing Renuka and Sandeep’s Diwali celebration was nourishing to my soul. It’s something I will never forget.
I could feel the boundless energy as guests arrived. Throughout the evening, one by one, candles were lit on the diyas, rangolis, and alter. They provided a feeling of peace and hopefulness for our future and the future of our children. ❤️
