Denton often photographs young children in nature and domestic settings. This image is from the series Leafsmoke, which investigates themes of everyday life, identity, and childhood. Denton uses an 8x10 Phillips camera with vintage lenses, creating atmospheric, dream-like imagery. In this image, a young girl stands in a wooded area, small trees growing in various directions around her. She looks toward the sky, her white dress wrapped around her arms. The girl appears to be in motion, her figure blurred and softly focused.
