Clementine, Cambridge
1985

A black and white photograph capturing a tender moment between a baby and an adult. The baby, with wide eyes and wispy hair, is being cradled and gently held on the cheek by the hand of an adult, whose chin rests atop the baby's head. The baby's gaze is directed off-camera, showing a sense of curiosity or wonder. The close-up shot emphasizes the intimate and protective gesture.
