    Shooting into the curtain

    The best light in the studio is not the north window — it is the bounce off the unbleached linen. I have been metering for the drape, not the subject. Everything else follows.

    A client asked for a third colour. We printed the job in forest and espresso on cream stock instead. Restraint is not a mood board; it is a decision you can hold.

    Contact sheets, not selects

    I send contact sheets first now. The sequence is the argument. If a frame cannot live among its neighbours, it does not belong on a wall.
