The Studio
The person behind the wall.
Ada Renard makes portraits and landscapes on film and prints them by hand — small editions, warm-toned, meant to be hung.
I came to photography through the darkroom, not the phone. What kept me was the slowness — the way a plate camera makes you decide what matters before the light does. I work mostly at the edges of the day, when a place stops performing and simply is.
My work is portrait and landscape in equal measure: faces given the same patience as fields. Everything is shot on film and printed by hand in the studio, in editions small enough that each print stays an object, not a file.
I show a few times a year and take a handful of commissions each season. If a wall of yours is waiting for something made slowly, we should talk.
