Message from the photographer

Run for victory. That was her only wish. But something wasn’t there. Whenever she hit a wall, she would forget herself and just run. Then one day she realized something: that she really loved the track. She also realized something else. That she was not competing against anyone else but just herself. It was a crucial step forward for her and she just wanted to win. She keeps running, believing in herself and her abilities.

About the subject

I wanted to focus on my friend’s devotion to running and how hard she works at it.
