In this analog series, photographed on the coast of Sète, France, I explore the quiet relationship between human presence and natural landscape. Returning to analog photography after years of digital work felt essential—this medium carries a depth and patience that mirrors the atmosphere I wanted to convey. Shot with a Mamiya Universal 6x9 on Kodak T-Max 400, the series captures solitude, texture, and the timeless rhythm of the sea. These images are not about drama, but about stillness and return—both to a physical place, and to a photographic language I had once left behind.
