A Place of Her Own

 

 

Photographing Sara in her home felt like photographing someone inside a space that truly belongs to her. After years of compromise, this is the first place she has created entirely for herself — every colour, object and corner chosen personally. We spent the afternoon talking, drinking coffee, moving between rooms and the garden, while I quietly photographed the moments in between. What emerged was less about portraiture and more about comfort, independence and the quiet beauty of feeling at home in your own life.
