the room was quiet. outside, the city was a distant hum of traffic. but inside, there was only the wooden table and the light that cut through the darkness. he did not speak. there was nothing left to say. the truth had a weight, a physical presence in the air. it sat there, between them, on the polished wood.

a small salute, big imagination
velvet, gold and a moment between play and performance.

he doesn’t move. not because he can’t — but because there’s power in staying still. in the silence around him, the frame becomes a stage. his gaze cuts sideways, not to escape, but to measure. shadow swells at his feet, the chair holds him like an unspoken crown, and light brushes his face just enough to let you wonder what he sees — or what he’s waiting for.
A simple portrait, using just one key light and a table mirror to add fill and complete the composition.

Studio lights:
-one godox sk400 reflector (triggered flash cca 1/64) held from hand, pointed upwards on an improvised reflective white roof, just above the model with red gel, purposely casting a little red light on a backdrop bottom part
-one godox sk400 reflector (triggered flash cca 1/32) with an umbrella pointed at the model 45° behind (my left)
-one big hidroisolation foam held right at the right of model
-one black neger held between the first reflector red light and the model, to stop the cast on model.
-white matte backdrop
Junior is a feral kitten who lives in our garden and is cared for by my neighbour, Julie. She handles him a little, originally with the intention of finding a home for him, but I think he is too cute for Julie to part with so he is going to be a "foster failure" and live here. He will live as a semi-feral in the garden along with the others that Julie and I have TNR'd.
Julie is away for work so I am caring for him for a few days, and today this happened. It was his first time ever inside a house, and after a few minutes to get used to the idea, and a tasty treat to help, he soon settled and thought that the hat was a pretty comfy place to be.

My paternal grandmother, whom I never knew. I posted her photo recently with 4 of her 6 children. She died as the result of being involved in a road accident before I was born.
I imagine this studio portrait was possibly taken shortly before she married Levi, in 1910, but I have nobody left to verify that.
How composed and stylish she looks!
My vet's stunning Bengal girl. She was brought to the clinic by the breeder when she was a kitten. She was very ill and they wanted to put her down, but my vet, Marta, refused. Instead, Marta took her in, cured her, and Aldana now lives very happily at the clinic, along with another abandoned beauty.
