This month’s theme is Low Light, and I took it literally—then emotionally.

All portraits were created in studio with minimal lighting, using only soft directional sources to carve out mood and mystery. My models were my sons, Arthur and Azure, who brought their own personalities to the shadows.

Low light photography is less about what you see and more about what you feel. It invites quiet. It demands intention. It rewards patience.

Arthur’s portraits lean cinematic—trench coats, hats, and a gaze that holds its own silence. Azure, on the other hand, plays with gesture and expression, letting his hands and eyes speak in the dim.

I chose black and white to strip away distraction and let the light sculpt the emotion. Each image is a study in restraint: fewer pixels, deeper stories.

Low light doesn’t mean less—it means intimacy. It means trust. It means letting the subject emerge from the quiet.

Photography lets us hold onto the moments that shape us. These winter scenes are part of that ongoing story. Thank you for being here, and don’t forget to visit Sharleen’s post for her take this month. Together, we keep adding new frames to the journey.

Until next time, may winter’s quiet steady your steps and the light find its way back to you.
