CTRL + Shift

CTRL + Shift is a photographic series exploring the quiet slippage between professional identity + personal expression. Each model is captured in both their work attire + their “off duty” look, where subtle echoes of their uniform linger. The series leans into the poetry of repetition, ritual, + the way style can unconsciously bleed from obligation into choice. Expressions range from the deadpan to the satirical—models caught in moments of boredom, urgency, or performative poise—blurring the line between documentation + performance. It’s a study of personas in soft transition—less about transformation, more about the gentle overlap of who we are when no one’s watching + who we are when they are.
