Alexia Foundation Photo of the Day – Ted Warren

Today’s photo of the day is from Ted Warren’s 1995 student award of excellence project, “Immigrants and Refugees in Austin: A Photographic Documentary.”

The image is a quiet moment of everyday life for this Vietnamese immigrant family. The subjects are completely at ease which means Warren had gained significant trust. The way the light in this image highlights the boy’s face and torso is fantastic.
