Upside Down with Grace
Single Image Work

Grace lounges in the afternoon sunlight — the air still thick with the aftermath of a heated argument between sisters on a sweltering Melbourne summer day. In this quiet moment, the tension begins to dissolve, replaced by a calm, reflective vulnerability. Reclining with composure and distance, she lingers in the soft space between conflict and performance, regathering herself before the night ahead.

Photographed on a Hasselblad 501C using medium format film, the image embraces the slowness and precision of analogue photography. The composition was carefully considered, yet the scene remains spontaneous — a fleeting balance between emotional residue and physical poise.

Upside Down with Grace captures a fragile equilibrium: the stillness that follows unrest, the beauty in what remains unspoken. It is a portrait of presence, transition, and the quiet strength found in the moments just after the storm.
