A slow, forty-minute walk along the canal behind the studio, photographed in every season. Water, herons, and the same three bridges.
A study of hand-lettered index cards from an old library drawer, photographed against a single sheet of warm paper.
A rural garden photographed over one growing season, without a shot list. Just visits, weather notes, and whatever was already there.
Long-exposure night interiors made with a single lamp and a bowl of ink, photographed across a working autumn.
Small Rooms & Co. is a small photography studio led by Theo Marlowe. 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.
