Tassels

Harriette Taylor opens Tassels with one of the most effortlessly commanding first frames of any set: arms spread wide in a sun-warmed villa doorway, holding the dark wooden shutters open like she is welcoming you into her world. She wears a chocolate-brown tassel-hem tank top that echoes the warm earth tones of the Mediterranean-style setting, and her long, voluminous brunette waves fall in soft cascades past her shoulders, gleaming in the afternoon light. Her gaze is steady and unhurried, her posture open and unapologetic, and the glimpse of garden and olive trees visible through the doorway behind her gives the whole scene a richly textured, sun-soaked intimacy that feels both editorial and deeply personal.

As the set moves through its 107 images, Harriette works the space between the villa's white walls and dark shutters with a confidence that never wavers. The tassel top gradually disappears as her comfort with the setting deepens, and by the final frame she is leaning bare-shouldered against the pale cream pillar of the entrance, casting a radiant smile back over one shoulder, her brunette hair spilling down her back and the green garden shimmering behind her. It is a luminous close to a luminous set: Tassels is the story of a woman entirely at home in both her skin and her surroundings, and Harriette Taylor makes every frame of it something to savour.
