AGE OF SAGE

Age of Sage is a portrait series focused on stillness, intention, and presence. I worked with controlled movement, warm tones, and soft focus to highlight how people hold themselves when they’re not performing. The result is stripped-back, quiet, and confident. Portraits that don’t need to say much to feel honest.
