A rural garden photographed over one growing season, without a shot list. Just visits, weather notes, and whatever was already there.
Half an hour at the desk, every morning, photographed as a slow diary for one hundred days. A cup, a book, the same window.
A small still-life series photographed on the cedar shelf above the desk. Books, folded paper, a cup, and one plate of light.
A study of hand-lettered index cards from an old library drawer, photographed against a single sheet of warm paper.
Small Rooms Studio is a small photography studio led by Theo Marlowe. Prints are pulled by hand in editions of eight to twelve, numbered and signed on the reverse.
The studio publishes two to four new series each year. Long-term projects — the canal path, the pine woods, the cedar shelf — are extended slowly and shown in small formats.
