01 / A closer look
Where the work begins.
A drawing in development: an artist studies the reference, builds the first lines and adjusts the portrait directly on paper.
The drawing and its reference share the same table. The close view follows the pencil and the artist’s concentration as the portrait is developed one decision at a time.
03 / A point of view
The portrait begins with attention.
A reference becomes a drawing through comparison. The relationship between the observed face, the paper and the hand gives this study its direction.

01 / A closer look
Form follows the hand.
A workshop reference on sculptural practice, where a portrait is constructed through direct observation and the gradual shaping of material.
The sculptor works close to a large clay portrait. The image records a dialogue between the face being observed and the material being shaped.
03 / A point of view
A portrait built by hand.
The work takes shape through additions and corrections. Light makes the surface readable, revealing where the next decision needs to happen.

01 / A closer look
The work behind the frame.
A behind-the-scenes reference on filmmaking, following the technical decisions and collaboration that turn a set into a finished frame.
Camera position, light and timing are negotiated before a scene reaches the screen. This image keeps the operator and the equipment visible, presenting production as a working process.
03 / A point of view
An image is a collective decision.
The final frame depends on choices made outside it. Equipment, position and collaboration give the scene its structure before the camera records.

01 / A closer look
A person before a profession.
A portrait reference focused on creative identity: a direct gaze, an unforced pose and the equipment that connects a person to their practice.
The camera remains in the frame without becoming its centre. Expression, posture and the open background keep the focus on the person holding it.
03 / A point of view
The person comes first.
The equipment explains the practice, while expression and posture establish the identity. An open background keeps those relationships visible.

01 / A closer look
Before the first audience.
A recording-session reference focused on the voice, the microphone and the concentration of a performer inside a working music studio.
Headphones and a microphone define a concentrated working space. The performer’s posture and expression make the physical effort of recording visible.
03 / A point of view
The voice becomes a physical presence.
The microphone, headphones and posture locate the performance in a working room. The photograph holds the concentration of a moment usually experienced as sound.
