A rural garden photographed over one growing season, without a shot list. Just visits, weather notes, and whatever was already there.
A small still-life series photographed on the cedar shelf above the desk. Books, folded paper, a cup, and one plate of light.
A slow, forty-minute walk along the canal behind the studio, photographed in every season. Water, herons, and the same three bridges.
Half an hour at the desk, every morning, photographed as a slow diary for one hundred days. A cup, a book, the same window.
Northlight Atelier is a small photography studio led by Ellis Vandermeer. 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.
