“A modern gaze, still charged with the intensity of Schiele’s expression.

The Gaze That Echoes Time

Imagine stepping into a photo studio, not cold but clinical—washed in yellow light. The kind of light that exposes more than it warms.
There, the model doesn’t smile. Doesn’t pose. They stand, angular and raw, offering not performance but permission to be seen.
And the lens, like a scalpel, accepts that offering.

The Gaze That Pierces Through Time

“A modern gaze, still charged with the intensity of Schiele’s expression.”

This is not nostalgia. This is tension reawakened.

The Stillness of a Distorted Reality

As the golden hour deepens, the body begins to contort—not into elegance, but into expression.
A vintage velvet jacket from another century wraps around limbs that stretch and stiffen like brushstrokes in revolt.
It is posture as language. And what it says is: “See me—imperfect, charged, unfinished.”

The Tension of Stillness

A full-body portrait of a subject in 1800s aristocratic fashion, standing rigid yet dynamic, the tension visible in every line of the body

“The subject stands frozen, yet every muscle holds tension as if waiting for something to break.”

The Aftermath of Emotion

Later, the edges soften. Light recedes.
The body no longer holds tension, but traces of what it carried remain. A kind of emotional residue lingers in the jawline, the downcast eye, the way breath seems to slow beneath the surface.

The Quiet Aftermath

A dimly lit portrait of a subject in deep reflection, captured in the aftermath of an emotional moment, their expression contemplative and still

“The quiet after the storm: a moment of reflection captured in shadows and light.”

This is Schiele’s world after rupture—the moment where intensity doesn’t end but echoes.

“Another story lingers—find it here.”
