Maria Usmanova
— Photographer, member of the Union of Photographers of Russia. Lives and works in Kazan.
Maria has been working with families and their children with Down syndrome for over 5 years.
Children with Down syndrome — laugh just like any other child, get sad, play, deeply love their mom and dad, and need a little help now and then. If they receive the support they need, these wonderful children achieve incredible things and inspire others in the process.
Every time Maria returns from a photo session with these kids, she is filled with an overwhelming sense of warmth and love! “They are stellar, these sunlit souls! Remember this if you are lucky enough to meet them and make friends.”
