The Quiet Ones
A supernatural series about figures that are present and absent at once. Sheets in a field, on a porch, between trees — it reads as folklore, loneliness, and the odd comfort of being haunted.
II7 frames
By Candlelight
Portraiture stripped to a single flame. Faces emerge from black and fall back into it; what's left feels less like a photo than a confession.
III10 frames
Michigan
A rural essay — painted silos, railroad lines, soybean fields at golden hour. Open space, small-town quiet, and the ache of somewhere you used to be.
IV9 frames
Graveyard Shift
The long night. A cemetery, cigarette smoke, empty lots under sodium light. Cinematic and uneasy, intimate without tipping into horror.

The photographer
About
Drawn to the quiet in everything.
I'm Isaiah Sanchez — a self-taught photographer based in the Bronx, NY. I shoot with a Canon DSLR and follow the feeling first: the tension in a candlelit room, the surreal weight of a fog-covered road, the stillness that happens right after the sun disappears.
My work spans cinematic portraiture, conceptual storytelling, landscapes, and quiet street photography. Across everything, I'm drawn to the dramatic, the moody, and the in-between moments most people walk past.
Photography is a hobby that became an obsession. Every frame is a chance to freeze something I don't want to lose.
