Monochrome with Marcelina (Patreon)

This set was shot immediately after the snow photos, when everything was still quiet and stripped down. No distractions — just Marcelina, light, and space.

Lately, I’ve been pulling hard back into black and white. Not as a gimmick, not as nostalgia — but because it feels like the most honest form of photography. Color is negotiable. Light isn’t. When you remove color, there’s nowhere to hide. Shape, texture, posture, shadow — it all has to work on its own.

That’s what this set is about.

Marcelina moves incredibly well in front of the camera, and monochrome exaggerates that in the best way. The lines feel stronger. The contrast feels intentional. Every frame feels like it could exist outside of time — not trendy, not loud, just right.

This is the kind of work that made me fall in love with photography in the first place. Simple setups. Clean backgrounds. Letting the subject carry the image instead of trying to decorate it.

Thanks for being here and supporting the work. More coming soon.
