The Edit // Romi

Romi shoots what happens in between. Not the picture perfect stuff, but side glances, long stretches of road, and light that hangs for a second before it’s gone. Her work mixes softness with a rough edge, built on memory and a gut feeling. This Vault Stock collection isn’t about ticking off landmarks. It’s about mood. Honest, textured, and sticking with you long after.

“I started with film, drawn to how light, grain, and shadow could hold something real. Now I work in both analogue and digital, chasing the feeling that even the briefest moment, once captured, might last forever. I grew up in the South of France, where summers felt golden and time moved slow. I chased wild skies, the sun, and moments that slip through your fingers if you’re not paying attention. Travel gave me the same freedom, teaching me to see light as alive, embracing the shadows.

Nostalgia shapes how I see, the quiet, the raw, the beauty that lives on the edge of sadness. I’m drawn to passing glances, long roads, the way light falls to reveal silence or a half-finished story. My work is about attention: holding what feels fleeting.

There’s truth in the in-between, in pauses, blurred edges, and soft focus. My photography lives in these spaces, keeping moments and feelings alive long enough to honour them before they go.”
