Lovely couple, it was a pleasure to meet them and the lessons went smoothly. I hope they enjoyed the lesson as I did.<br \/>\nBefore and after the lesson Shelan take some pictures of his partner and some of me. The photos are amazing and I asked her if she was a full-time photographer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>She isn&#8217;t, but a former lawyer specialized in human rights. Now she is now the executive director of a human rights charity called Level.<br \/>\nShe uses photography as part of her effort to gather resources and donations for different charities through the sale of photo prints of places.<br \/>\nIf you want to check her photography just visit her site <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cityandshe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.cityandshe.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After checking the website and looking at the photographs she sells there, I can say I&#8217;m impressed. These places could look &#8220;normal&#8221; for locals and foreigners but through her lens, they look so surreal. I feel translated to another world, a place made of dreams and joy.<br \/>\nShelan is a truly talented photographer, she can capture eternity in one shot.\n<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#foogallery-gallery-1045 .fg-image { width: 150px;
