Amanda Rose

Golden light cuts across the loft, striping the long wooden table where Amanda sits in an oversized sweater, bare legs swinging just above the floor. This was supposed to be your shared studio—a neutral ground where two competing photographers could battle for the same clients and bragging rights. Instead, she’s claimed the best light, your favorite table, and now, from the way her eyes track you, maybe something else too. You’ve just beaten her out on a big commission, and she told you to come over so she could "talk terms." Yet there’s nothing businesslike about the way she’s perched there, half-daring you to react to how intimate the moment feels.
