A rural garden photographed over one growing season, without a shot list. Just visits, weather notes, and whatever was already there.
A short walking series in a stand of coastal pines north of the studio. Vertical trunks, filtered light, and the same three paths returning.
Photographs of the reverse side of postcards — the writing, the stamps, the light coming through the paper.
A small still-life series photographed on the cedar shelf above the desk. Books, folded paper, a cup, and one plate of light.
Blue Hour Prints is a small photography studio led by Iris Halberg. Prints are pulled by hand in editions of eight to twelve, numbered and signed on the reverse.
The studio publishes two to four new series each year. Long-term projects — the canal path, the pine woods, the cedar shelf — are extended slowly and shown in small formats.
