BRIEF

Building a past
for the present frame.

A photograph on a shelf or in a family album tells you about a character without a line of dialogue. For a detail like this, the character’s appearance, age, the setting and the nature of the shot itself all matter.

This selection holds family scenes and ways of solving them: from a wedding portrait to a casual photograph at home.
