Our second shoot together took us east to the calm and quietly charming streets of Walthamstow, near Lloyd Park, the William Morris Gallery and along Winns Avenue, where the city feels softer, almost slower.

By then, Katya and I had found our rhythm. What began in Regent’s Park as a beautiful first connection was now evolving into something even more fluid. There was comfort in the silence between shots, in the unspoken understanding of what we were trying to create.

Walthamstow offered a different backdrop. Residential, grounded, almost nostalgic. It felt like walking through someone else’s memory, and somehow, we made it ours. The photos from that day carry that feeling: subtle, lived-in, real. Just like the best kinds of stories.
