Don't Lo.ok

Model: Jamie

Don't Lo.ok is a portrait series that revolves around the question of
"how much do we reveal of ourselves".

Between concrete, rust-coloured structures and soft evening light, the series invites you to look closer - while the subject seems to resist that gaze.

We combined muted tones with graphic lines and structures to create a calm, cinematic atmosphere that leaves room for interpretation.

The aim of this series was to capture quiet confidence in everyday urban spaces.

Towards the end, the framing tightens, the colours soften and the spectacles are lifted.

All that's left is a brief moment of openness and beauty.
