( the photographer )

Hi — I’m Mara.

I’ve made pictures in Latvia and the places in between since the nineties — mostly on film, mostly in the quiet hours. Portraits, weather, the light on a wall. I’m not precious about gear. I’m precious about the moment it remembers.

— still shooting, mostly at dawn.

A winter spent chasing the hour the snow turns blue — forty rolls of film, three frozen lakes, and one very cold car.

Let’s make something together.

Let’s make something together.

I’m always up for a coffee and a long conversation about light, film, and the slow web — tell me what you’re dreaming up.

thanks for scrolling all the way down
