Brydie Piaf, Eight (PORTRAIT 2021)

Collaborating with my daughter Edie, these images are from ‘eight,’ a portrait series that started as a way of exploring shadows within our home differently during lockdown. Influenced by the Pre-Raphaelites and master painters of chiaroscuro — a moment is held for a brief period — as we create a portrait together. No matter what is happening in the outside world, I know this time will be fleeting, and I want to inhale in some way, her light. Her time of being eight.
