Miles Davis, Columbia Recording Studio, 1970

Captured him mid-thought, that focused stare while the Fillmore tapes spin—you can almost hear the room. The archival print quality really shows in the shadows; it's sharp without feeling cold. This one's going on my wall for a long time.

The archival print quality really shows—the dark tones in the studio shadows hold up beautifully, no fading or glare under my desk lamp. I keep catching new details in Miles's expression every time I walk past it.

The way Miles is captured mid-thought, listening back to those tapes, feels so candid it’s like you’re in the booth with him. The silver gelatin print has a depth to the blacks that makes the whole scene pop off the wall.
