Solargraph Portraits — A Still Made of Time, Light, and Your Story

$100.00

Invite me to your home, studio, car, bike, boat, tent—or wherever your life is unfolding—and I’ll install a tiny pinhole camera made from a repurposed can. Inside is light-sensitive paper. Over the course of a week, it slowly gathers the path of the sun, the shifting weather, the way your world moves. What forms is not a regular photograph, but a still made from many days—a silent movie condensed into a single image.

This is for people who want to mark a moment in time:
• a birthday, wedding, or anniversary
• the first week in a new home or job
• the last days of someone’s life
• the beginning of a business or a farewell to one
• grief, healing, a new chapter, or a quiet shift inside
• or simply curiosity, stillness, or wonder

What’s Included — $100

I come to you (house, studio, vehicle, tent, bike, backpack—wherever it lives).
We spend anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour installing the can and talking, depending on how much you want to share.
The can gathers light for 7 days.
I return to collect it, develop the solargraph, and create a framed print.
You receive a one-of-a-kind visual imprint of your time—sun trails, weather, stillness, movement, and whatever energy the moment held.

It’s part portrait, part memento, part quiet ritual. A way to see your life in light.
