here is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in - Leonard Cohen

01 Begin With a Moodboard
We start with exploration.
You share your artistic influences — films, faces, songs, energies, the worlds you’re drawn to. It gets shaped into a moodboard.It becomes our creative map:
a place to inhabit different emotional spaces. -
02 Slow the Noise
The city arrives with you, the pace, the tension, the tightness in the jaw. We take a moment to undo that. A short meditation, simple and intentional.
Just enough to drop you out of “go-mode” and into presence.
-
03 Curate the Atmosphere
We build a shared playlist — music shaped by your moodboard, my instincts, the tone we want to access.
Sound shifts the room. It gives you an emotional doorway to step through.
-
04 Build the Moment
We talk before the camera comes up — grounding who you are and what you want to be seen for. The direction stays subtle: micro-shifts, breath cues, the inner narrative that shapes expression.
The strongest images appear in the quiet between movements — the exhale, the softened guard, the half-second where something real slips through. That’s the moment we capture.

06 Refine With Intention
You choose your selects, and I take them into a quiet edit. Retouching stays light and cinematic — nothing that erases texture or honesty. Just refinement.
Final images are delivered within a week, shaped to feel true to you and the work you want to step into.
