Meredith says that she enjoys photographing children because they tend to be less inhibited than adults. Even so, she says that kids are taught to smile for the camera from a young age, so capturing a candid expression can still be a challenge. In this image, to take Georgia’s mind off the camera, Meredith struck up a conversation about the Disney movie Frozen. Using a wide aperture to achieve a soft background, and slightly underexposing the image to avoid blown-out highlights, she captured Georgia in thought, with a natural and unguarded expression. @the.wildlife

While Jeff’s daily commute on the Devonport to Auckland ferry is usually full of business commuters focused on their smartphones, on this day, Jeff’s eye was drawn to a figure reclining on a nearby seat. In contrast to the normally reserved passengers, this gentleman was obviously lost in his book and entirely at ease in the public space. @jeffh
