A quiet portrait — soft light, a calm look, a hint of a smile not yet formed.
There is no story here, no pose — only a gentle presence, a fleeting second of trust.
Captured in natural light, kept simple to remind us that beauty often lives in the spaces we don’t decorate.

Тихий портрет — мягкий свет, спокойный взгляд, едва заметная улыбка, ещё не оформившаяся.
Здесь нет истории и позы — только лёгкое присутствие, мимолётное мгновение доверия.
Снято при естественном свете, оставлено простым, чтобы напомнить: красота чаще всего живёт в том, что мы не украшаем.
I placed three large maple leaves on my sidewalk and created this autumn-themed artwork.
There is so much beauty around us in every season...
i was teaching a one-on-one street photography workshop. my student’s camera battery gave up. i handed him my leica q3. my fuji x-t5 was still with me, the 50mm f1 a quiet beast in low light. he disappeared into the paseo del borne, searching for moments.
i saw a street singer setting up his mic. beside him, a girl on a bench. i asked if i could take her portrait. she nodded, then started posing—effortless, unexpected. the light was bad. i pointed to a storefront, told her it would work like a softbox. she followed. then she gave me this. hope you like it.
It stood where others bent—one strand daring to keep its color when the rest faded into memory. Maybe it didn't know it was alone, or maybe it simply didn't care. In a field of sameness, it whispered, “I’ll be different

You thought it was the mystique of the fisherman that caught this egret's riveting attention at the beach just after sunrise? No, it was the shrimp bait of the fisherman that the egret was focused on. When the fisherman wasn't looking, the egret peeked into the fisherman's bag, then found some pieces of shrimp nearby and snatched it up with his beak. Most of the time, the fisherman seemed oblivious to the bird, as if he didn't even notice him there. But for this shot, I asked him to look up at the camera.
It is common for birds to stop by around the fishermen around sunrise in search for breakfast, and they practically "blend in" with the setting.

I was really thrilled to get this lady to pose. She was on her way to the river to bathe and was not dressed in her best. I was really inspired by the couple of portraits of women that I have been able to get and am trying to get some more women as my subjects. I love the colour tones and attitude of the subject . One of my favourite portraits of the countless I have taken.
The world feels different when seen from another angle.
Eyes wide, unblinking, absorbing everything — not just the light, but the questions unspoken, the stories untold.
Here lies a quiet moment of stillness and curiosity, captured just before it slips away. The shadows cradle him like a secret, while his gaze dares you to stop, look closer, and wonder what he sees that you do not.
