It’s so difficult to capture the feeling of a place, a moment, a mood.  Sometimes I get so caught up in the beauty of moment that I forget to snap a photo or more often, I don’t want to take myself out of the moment to grab the camera.  New York photographer Mimi Ko creates an ambience of feeling in each captured click of her camera.

Though her subjects are occasionally dressed in period garb, there is a timelessness to the spells she is weaving.  The shadows and soft light create a quiet moodiness and feeling of anticipation.

With each image, she is letting us into a small part of the story.  The possible narrative is only one element in the composition, the scenes she is setting are more about what isn’t being said rather than what is.
