Guy Templeton, Between wonder and caution (PEOPLE & PORTRAIT 2025)

Cradled by her mother, the toddler's gaze meets the viewer with quiet curiosity. The frame captures a fleeting pause in their connection. The mother's focus on her child. The child's momentary glance outward -- curious, uncertain and entirely present. An unstated portrait of attachment, observation and early selfhood.
