The practice

An independent studio devoted to making considered images of people, interiors, and the natural world.

Studio331 began as a place to collect what might otherwise pass unnoticed: a gesture, a shadow, the particular character of a place. The work is unhurried, observant, and made with respect for what is already there.

This site is a living edit. New stories and images are added as the archive grows.

Private commissions

A small number of projects
are accepted each year.

For thoughtful collaborations, editorial assignments, or print inquiries, please introduce your project by email.
