Maurizio Cigognetti, Chris Clements — Bound in Light (PEOPLE & PORTRAIT 2026)

Created for Bound in Light, a portrait series exhibited at the Riddoch Arts & Cultural Centre, this image focuses on the quiet exchange between sitter, photographer and light. Chris Clements’ direct yet guarded expression resists easy interpretation, allowing character to emerge through subtle asymmetry, texture and restrained studio lighting.
