Laura Hollyman settles into "Until The Lights Go Out" with the unhurried ease of someone who has all the time in the world. Curled on a tartan sofa in a cream chunky knit turtleneck and white slouchy socks, her long dark hair tumbling softly around her shoulders, she looks every inch the cosy, intimate vision the title promises. The exposed brick and warm, low light of the room wrap around her like a second layer as she reclines into the cushions, her gaze heavy with quiet intention, the whole setting radiating a late-afternoon stillness that feels almost private.
As the sweater slowly comes off and the denim shorts follow, Laura moves through the set with the same calm sensuality, each pose drawing out the last of the afternoon light filtering through the glass conservatory doors. By the final image she stands entirely bare save for her white socks, one arm lifted behind her head, framed by the soft glow of the window at her back. "Until The Lights Go Out" is exactly that: a slow, tender, achingly beautiful burn that holds your attention right to the very last frame.
