Nina Simone and Daughter, London, 1965

The way the light catches both of their expressions in this print feels so intimate and real, like you're peeking at a quiet moment. I've had it framed in my study and catch myself staring at it more than I'd admit.

The black-and-white grain of this 1965 shot makes the whole scene feel timeless, and you can almost hear her voice in the way she’s leaning toward her daughter. It’s a quiet, powerful moment that’s perfect for my music room wall, and the print quality does it justice.

The way Nina’s gaze holds her daughter’s in this 1965 capture is so tender it stops you mid-step. It’s on my wall now, and the archival quality makes the black-and-white feel like it’s barely aged.
