U – Portrait Series
U is an ongoing portrait series exploring the quiet tension between individuality and universal human presence. Each portrait isolates its subject in a distilled visual space, inviting viewers to encounter the subtle expressions, gestures, and atmospheres that define a person beyond words. Rather than documenting identity in a literal sense, the series focuses on mood, texture, and emotional resonance—capturing the moment when a subject becomes both themselves and something archetypal.
Through minimal styling and intuitive composition, U highlights the shared humanity that connects us, while honoring the distinct energy each sitter brings to the frame.
