Camp Bucca Visitor, Iraq 2008

In 2008 I went inside the largest detainee facility in Iraq, Camp Bucca, where Iraqis by the tens of thousands were being held by American forces. At the visitor center I saw this young girl waiting in line for a visitation with her father. The bright desert sunlight of southern Iraq illuminated her face and her mother's black abaya acted as a drop cloth behind her, giving this spontaneous shot the feeling of a studio session.
