Broken but Hopeful
The Story behind the Shot:
This evocative black-and-white portrait strips away the distraction of color to reveal raw emotion and depth. The interplay of light and texture highlights the fabric, the gentle reflections on skin, and the quiet, unspoken bond between the two figures. It is a moving exploration of motherhood, resilience, and human dignity. Mailaram Srikanth, a deaf photographer from Nallagandla and an alumnus of Youth4Jobs, channels his emotions through his lens with remarkable sensitivity. Passionate about capturing powerful and meaningful moments, Srikanth uses photography as his voice — a medium to tell stories of strength, tenderness, and hope that go beyond words.
