Natural Light project
"This portfolio explores the sculpting power of natural light within an indoor setting, using Mariella as muse. Each portrait is a deliberate study showcasing how a single source of light—be it front, side, back, or rim—transforms expression, mood, and texture. The series highlights Mariella's striking features while demonstrating the dramatic and subtle differences created by manipulating light direction (chiaroscuro) and shadow placement. It is an intimate look at how simple, unmodified window light can craft complex, evocative portraiture."
