Notes from the studio.

Occasional writing on the craft, the process, and what we are thinking about between projects.

A walk through what happens before, during, and after a considered portrait session — including the parts clients don't see.

Some practical notes on working with available light indoors, with examples from recent commissions.

How we decide what work fits the practice — and what we politely turn down, even when we have time.

Why we edit on paper before we ever open a developer's catalogue — and how that habit has shaped the practice.

Notes on photographing people who don't perform naturally for the camera — including techniques we have learned not to use.

A short, opinionated list of what goes into a typical session kit — and the things we never seem to reach for.
