02 / Field note

I photograph the moment just before it behaves.

I do not chase the decisive moment. I wait until the room has a temperature, then I let the sitter misbehave inside it.

Fashion detail: fabric catching studio light.
Fashion detail: skin and a hard edge of daylight.
Fashion detail: hands and a short flash of jewellery.
