Aperture House

A studio study in editorial portraiture, photographed over two quiet hours in a stone house outside the city. The subject stands at the threshold of a tall window, where the light falls away slowly across the wall. We worked with a single north-facing window and a hand-held reflector, letting the room set the pace. The frame is kept wide enough to hold the architecture, so the person is read as part of the place rather than placed in front of it. The series was made as a self-directed exercise in patience: no styling beyond what the subject arrived in, no light that the room did not already offer.
