Time with people is what holds these images together.

Not every photograph begins with a schedule, a ceremony or a stage. Sometimes there is a clear occasion: a birthday, a family visit, a portrait session, a production day.

Sometimes there is simply a walk, an afternoon or a few days together.

Without a programme to follow, I work from what is actually there: who is present, how people relate to each other and how the situation develops.

In all of them, I look for small shifts in posture, a face between takes, the moment just before somebody notices the camera.

Time for things to feel unforced.

Tell me who will be there, where you would like it to happen, and what you would like to remember.
