A portrait series of artist Tobias Newbigin, shot for a magazine feature. I wanted the photographs to offer a sense of the person behind the work, leaving room for personality rather than building everything around a formal pose. The approach was simple: portraits that could sit alongside the conversation without trying to explain it all.

There’s a balance in editorial portraiture between making an image that holds the page and giving someone space to be themselves. For this series, that meant keeping the visual direction understated and letting expression and gesture carry the photographs. A small introduction to Tobias, with the rest of the story left to the feature.
