    The north window

    One arched window and a round reflector. Why the studio is named after this light, and how to find it at home.

    Waiting for the last light

    A tripod on the cliff, forty minutes before sunset. What to set, and when to stop changing it.

  • Street5 min

    Rain is a reflector

    Wet sidewalks double every light in the street. A crouch, a slow shutter and a lot of umbrellas.
