Honest medium-format portraits
An independent photographic practice focused on spatial geometry, natural window light, and the quiet truth of unposed subjects.
Quiet composition, natural light
I reject the noise of artificial studio setups and heavy digital retouching. My work is grounded in the geometry of the room and the honest, unposed moments that happen right after the camera settles.
By working exclusively with directional north-facing window light and medium-format film, we preserve the raw texture of the skin and the genuine weight of the atmosphere. No shortcuts, just pure observation.


Ten years of observation
Based in New York and Paris, I collaborate with design-led brands, architects, and independent founders who value restraint over trend. Every campaign is approached as a quiet partnership, built on shared silence and architectural framing.
