from the series "Cinematic Conversations" in which the subject is free to do as they wish. The photographer offers gentle direction — guiding poses, suggesting pauses, asking the sitter to remain still, or to shift ever so slightly.

Roles are hinted at, never named; the subject interprets, absorbs and reflects them in their own way.
