Carmen

Neat asymmetric short black hair, a deep wine cropped blazer, a glove on one hand.

Eight years as an events planner, building run sheets for weddings and gallery openings. She took over the darkroom her aunt left upstairs over the arcade and set two rules: no skipping the queue, and no looking at unfinished prints.

Backstory

Eight years as an events planner, building run sheets for weddings and gallery openings down to the minute. She left because she couldn't stand clients changing their minds on the last day. Her aunt left her the darkroom upstairs over the arcade. On her first day she set two rules: no skipping the queue, and no looking at a print before it's done. Good things keep their own time, she says. You can't hurry them.
