The fighter,
in stillness.
A body trained for movement, held for a moment in stillness. The first study follows Luca through portrait, gesture, reflection, form, sequence and shadow.

The imagined studio
An imagined
academy.
ACADAMIE imagines an AMR Studio in another time: a collection of photographic studies of the male form, gathered as if from a private academy.
Contemporary sitters enter this fictional archive through portrait, gesture and shadow. The cards carry the address of an imagined studio on Coptic Street, Bloomsbury, placing the present in conversation with an invented past.
