Portraits and editorial pictures, made slowly in natural light. For people, makers and the magazines that write about them.
01Selected work
A short edit of still life and editorial frames. Same window light, same patience, very different subjects. Shown here as sample work.
Drag or scroll sideways to move through the edit.
02Featured story
No flash, no set. Just the bench, the bunch and the light moving across the wall.
We spent one spring morning beside a florist as she built a single arrangement, stem by stem. The brief was simple: photograph it the way it feels to stand next to it.
So we kept to one window, let the light move across the wall, and waited for the moment the bunch stopped looking arranged and started looking found.
03Services and process
Four kinds of work, one way of doing it. Every shoot starts with a conversation and ends with a small, careful edit.
One person, an unhurried hour or two, and pictures that look like you on a good day. At the studio or somewhere that matters to you.
Stories for print and screen. We read the piece first, then shoot to it.
Objects photographed with the same care as faces. Glass, fabric, food, clay.
A day inside a small business: the people, the hands, the place. One shoot that gives you a year of honest pictures.
A short call about what the pictures are for and who will see them.
A one page plan: place, light, timing, references. Nothing more.
Small crew, quiet set. We work at the speed of the subject.
A tight edit, graded by hand, delivered in a private gallery.
04About the studio
Studio Halden is a small practice for portraits, editorial and still life. We like window light, patient sittings and pictures that still feel true years from now.
Most shoots are one photographer and one assistant. That keeps the room calm, and calm is where the good frames are.
