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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
