Nomadic Portrait

A Mongolian woman milks a yak on a cold morning. This intimate image impressed Your Shot photo editor Matt Adams. "This is a great environmental portrait, capturing someone in their element as they do work that defines them. Great work capturing the expression on her face and the location you are working with," he said. This photo was submitted to Your Shot, our photo community on Instagram.
