About

Hello, I'm Mara.

I'm a photographer working with landscape, architecture and still life. I grew up on a windy coast and still prefer weather to sunshine.

Most of my commissions come from architects, interior studios and small makers who want their work photographed slowly and honestly. In between, I make series that take a season or more to finish.

The studio is one room with one north window. That is where every still life on this site was made.

A film camera with a leather strap beside a notebook and film rolls on a wooden desk — The desk by the north window. No portrait here on purpose: put your own photo in `assets/img/`.

How I work

Wait for it

Light does the work. I return to a place until it is right, rather than forcing it on the day.

Keep it true

Straight lines stay straight, colours stay close to what was there, and nothing is added that was not.

Fewer, better

A shoot ends with a short, finished edit, not a folder of five hundred near-duplicates.
