These photographs sit somewhere between film stills and real life. Moments that feel lived-in, not staged. Light and shadow do the heavy lifting, often shaping more than what’s shown. There’s a nod to Caravaggio in the way contrast is used, and to Roger Deakins in the quiet, natural approach to framing. The influence of Robert Frank lingers too, finding something honest in the in-between. As Cartier-Bresson put it, it’s about holding your breath and catching something real, even if it only lasts a second.
