 Photographer Venetia Deardon: “I shot this photo of a group of sequestered nuns famed for their beautiful singing voices at a monastery in Avignon, France in May 2010. In fact, the sisters recently signed a recording contract with the company who represents Lady Gaga! I was on an assignment for the Sunday Times of London, visiting monasteries all over UK and Ireland. I was always in awe of nuns’ sense of peace and inner contentment, and especially intrigued by the way these women are so happy and free within the confines of their monastery."
