Getting Ready

Portraits of the hush before life begins.

In the hush, alone for a moment, you gather yourself, then step into the day.

The tools change, but the quiet ritual repeats.

This series stays with the in-between: the private room where intention takes shape before performance. A glass of water. A folded shirt. Hands learning the day by touch.

Each subject is photographed in their own environment, to witness the person beneath it — before anyone is watching.

Before the door opens, the whole day is already there.

More subjects in the series ahead. Each chapter is shot in the subject's own environment, before the working day opens.
