Different than typical street photography, capturing images at protests or rallies often allows the photographer to get up close and personal with their subjects, who expect more media attention than usual as they try to raise awareness. This image taken by Victoria Pickering features a rally member outside of the Supreme Court, while the voting rights case Husted v. A. Philip Randolph Institute was argued in the court. Although the subject’s face is covered, Victoria makes direct eye contact with the individual, capturing stark emotions of uncertainty and concern.
