"Some of the photos that are most meaningful to me are of people I don't know. Capturing candid authenticity is my favorite thing to do when I travel. In 2014, I flew to Italy to take my first solo international trip. It was one of the best experiences of my life, and has driven me to continue solo international travel. One afternoon, after having toured Rome's Castel Sant'Angelo, I crossed the Tiber via Ponte Sant'Angelo. Toward the end of the bridge, I glanced across the street to the building facing me. The two people in this photograph were enjoying an intimate moment together and I couldn't help but capture it."
