The Frame — Style & Photography

Photography, creative direction, and styling throughout by Amal Iqbal.

From wandering through cities and gardens to lingering with flowers, books, and objects in the studio, these photographs are part of an ongoing practice of observation—collecting moments, studying atmosphere, and finding meaning and story in the details.
