"These images mark a series of firsts: my first time shooting on colour film, and my first collaboration with Ella Snyder. There was a certain electricity in that unfamiliarity, where every frame became a small act of trust, of quiet listening to light, shadow, and gesture. Shooting on film slowed us down, inviting presence and tenderness. These are more than portraits, they're records of a beginning, and of how art can emerge when two people meet the unknown together."
"My name is Timothy Cheng, a New York City-based artist blending sculpture and analogue/digital photography. I graduated from Parsons in January 2025 with a BFA in Photography, and my work explores beauty, identity, and transformation.

Photography, styling, and hair were handled by the same creative, with Ella Snyder as the model and fashion provided by Conor O'Driscoll, Burberry, Eckhaus Latta, Frankie Shop, Levi's, and Emily Casilli. The images represent first-time experiments shooting on colour film and a first collaborative pairing, producing an unfamiliar electricity that made every frame a small act of trust and quiet listening to light, shadow, and gesture. Shooting on film slowed the process, inviting presence and tenderness. The resulting portraits function as records of a beginning and demonstrate how art can emerge when two people meet the unknown together.
