A young 5-year-old Kim Jong-un stands with a playful, dirt-smudged face, proudly wearing a North Korean scout uniform. Beside him, his father, Kim Jong-il, looks on with a warm, proud smile. In the background, a group of childhood friends, also clad in matching uniforms, gather, their faces lit with joy and camaraderie. They stand on a typical North Korean residential street, the faint outlines of modest homes framing the scene. Captured through a 200mm medium format lens, the image evokes the soft, dreamy artistic style of Elizabeth Messina, with gentle lighting casting a nostalgic glow over the moment.
