Hi,
We are Sally and William.

Sombra Nexus did not begin as a clear idea. It emerged gradually, through years of looking, working, and learning how to stay with moments long enough for them to reveal what they hold.

Sally studied journalism at Boston University, where she learned to observe before interpreting, to let facts and images speak without urgency. She is drawn to stillness and to the way a single photograph can contain a quiet accumulation of meaning. William earned his MFA in Photo, Video and Related Media, from the School of Visual Arts. He is attentive to motion, to duration, to the way light changes when given time. His work leans toward the cinematic, toward sequences rather than isolated frames. Together, these approaches shape a practice grounded in patience and attention.

When we work with individuals and families, we do not rush toward moments of expression. We allow them to arrive. We witness the early closeness between newborns and siblings, the unselfconscious presence of children, the mixture of confidence and uncertainty that marks graduation. We are present during proposals shaped by hesitation and resolve, during moments of surprise that lead to tears, during vows spoken with restraint rather than spectacle. We document family gatherings, birthdays, personal performances, and relationships that deepen not through display, but through time and repetition.

What interests us is not the moment itself, but what surrounds it.
The before, the after, and the weight carried quietly within it.
