Frame x Frame
Episodic
Two photographers shoot the same model, the same location, with the cameras of their choosing. The episodes sit the work side by side — an inquiry into how the eye, and the instrument, shape what the picture becomes.
Premiere — 2026
Two eyes on the same subject, and the picture is never the same picture.
On Frame × Frame
World Building, with intention.
A study in stillness — the kind that comes from having nothing to prove. Sovereignty as posture, lineage as light.
We make pictures slowly, and only of things we love.
