Between The Frames

Rhythm of Place grew out of paying attention to energy — the way cities move between quiet and noise, stillness and motion. That work is structured around contrast, letting different environments and tempos push against each other. Even its calm moments are part of a larger rhythm.

Between the Frames comes from slowing that process down.

This project isn’t about reacting to what’s happening or looking for a peak moment. It’s about staying with what exists just before something shifts, or just after it’s already passed. The images live in the in-between spaces — moments that don’t ask to be photographed, but linger if you give them time.

The approach is intentionally simple: slow-speed film, a single 50 mm lens, and a camera that stays out of the way. These aren’t constraints for the sake of limitation. They’re there to slow the pace of decision-making. Each frame requires intent. Nothing is collected quickly.

Where Rhythm of Place responds to place and sound, Between the Frames pays attention to what remains when those elements fall quiet. The photographs are softer and less declarative.

They don’t resolve immediately, and they aren’t meant to. This isn’t a departure from Rhythm of Place, but a parallel path. It shares the same attention to atmosphere and time, just with the volume turned down — focusing on pauses, ordinary spaces, and the feeling of staying a moment longer than necessary.
