At 17 years old, he carries the quiet grace of time. After each meal, he quietly moves to the entrance, where light pours through the glass door. There, he grooms himself—a daily ritual, unchanged and dignified. These photographs are a quiet glimpse into his private world, lit only by natural light and time. The rich chiaroscuro and deep black tones were achieved using only the ambient light and in-camera settings (exposure, Picture Control, and white balance). No post-processing or digital development, aside from essential cropping, was performed.
