Selected Portraits

These portraits are drawn from encounters that happened naturally—without formal commissions or planned outcomes. Each image reflects a shared moment of presence, trust, and attention.

Some were taken during personal conversations, others in passing, but all of them carry something honest: a gaze held, a gesture observed, the quiet beauty of being seen.

Though informal, these images are just as intentional. I approached each with the same care and analog process I bring to all my work—seeking stillness, intimacy, and the soul of the moment.
