A Grid Look
2023
A Grid Look is a photo series built around a single question: how do designers and photographers actually relate to the grid? Not as a rule to follow or break, but as something they carry with them, a way of seeing that shapes decisions even when it isn't visible on the page.
The series uses portraits and experiments with projected light to make that relationship tangible. The golden ratio, the rule of thirds, and column structures appear not as diagrams but as lived conditions embedded in how the subjects hold themselves, how light falls, how space gets divided. The grid is both the subject and the tool.
What emerges is a study in how structure functions differently depending on who's working with it. For some, it's a foundation; for others, it's something to push against. A Grid Look holds that range without resolving it, letting the tension between order and instinct stay open.
