Jack London

A warm pool of light, a red lacquered screen with delicate gold brushwork, the muted atmosphere of a quiet evening. In the middle of this calm, a young woman sits alone at a high table, absorbed in a Jack London novel. The soft light falling across her face creates an intimate pause in the flow of the surrounding darkness — a moment of stillness carved out of the city’s rhythm.

Photographed with a Leica SL2 and Summilux-M 50mm Black Chrome, the image carries the lens’s signature cinematic softness: velvet shadows, gentle contrast, and a creamy fall-off that isolates the subject without breaking the honesty of the scene.

A piece of everyday life transformed into a quiet story — a small, self-contained world found in the middle of St. Petersburg.
