KUALA LUMPUR INTERNATIONAL PHOTO AWARDS ( KLPA) Portrait Photography Prize was awarded to Sandra Chen Weinstein's photograph, “Untitled,” the 1st prize winner for Open Category in this year’s contest “Defining Family."

"The inside of "D's" mind is wonderland, chaotic, and unorganized. The only thing that makes sense in her mind is that nothing does and the only order, is no order. "D" had a tough time growing up - constantly bullied at school. She left home as a late teen from Los Angeles. Women in every society face the task of transforming these expectations of others in order to match their own sensibilities and ambitions. The series of candid yet intimate women portraits illuminates the dynamic and complex feminine psychology, the perception of tradition, love, identity and ideals in life. As a whole the work seeks to demonstrate how women inhabit diverse bodies and express complex forms of self-determination."
