Test frames, chemistry mistakes, and rolls left unfinished. A short archival series about the useful parts of what does not work.
Half an hour at the desk, every morning, photographed as a slow diary for one hundred days. A cup, a book, the same window.
Long-exposure night interiors made with a single lamp and a bowl of ink, photographed across a working autumn.
A study of hand-lettered index cards from an old library drawer, photographed against a single sheet of warm paper.
Northlight Atelier is a small photography studio led by Hana Vrieze. Prints are pulled by hand in editions of eight to twelve, numbered and signed on the reverse.
The studio publishes two to four new series each year. Long-term projects — the canal path, the pine woods, the cedar shelf — are extended slowly and shown in small formats.
