Earth Day
Before I enter a space, I let the light go first.
It creeps along window frames, grazes a brick wall, draws the line of a staircase you would never notice otherwise. As an interior photographer, architecture is my canvas — the proportions, the materials, the space between things. But only when the light falls does it become an image.
In Hawaii, I saw that on a grand scale.
Lava cliffs shaped by thousands of years of pressure and heat — architecture without an architect. Forests where light falls in narrow beams between the trunks, like a carefully designed ceiling with the perfect lighting plan. The ocean that composes the beach anew every morning.
The same principles I look for in every interior I photograph: a strong line, an honest material, and light that knows exactly where it needs to be.
The earth was the first architect. Everything we build is an answer to her.
Today I pause at the source of everything I see through my lens.
Happy Earth Day.
