NOCTURNE — Portrait Series

The Story

Overview & approach

NOCTURNE is an ongoing portrait project. Each sitter is photographed once, at night, in a place they chose themselves.

There is no styling and almost no direction. We wait, keep the light small, and take very few frames. The prints are made large and shown without titles.
