Lately I’ve been slowing things down.

Stepping away from the speed of digital work, I’ve been spending more time walking the city with a film camera in hand—no timeline, no brief, just light, texture, and patience.

These aren’t portraits of people. They’re portraits of place. Forgotten corners, early morning light on concrete, alleys that feel like time stopped for a second.

Shooting on film adds to that stillness—every frame intentional, every image the result of waiting, watching, and letting the city reveal itself.
