Note Son quietly released a series titled Portraits of Self. The 14-frame chapter appears to be an ode to a face that feels both familiar and brand new.

Made with Nukia over four mornings, one couple at a time, no direction beyond where to stand

We have learned that the photograph a couple keeps is almost never the one from the ceremony; it is the one taken twenty minutes before, when they were still allowed to be nervous.

“Everything else was subtraction — what remains is the hours between.”
