Love, essentially, is the purest emotion, the one endless energy that connects us all. It’s never about the grand gestures or the dramatic displays of affection –the most meaningful expressions of love come from kindness, empathy and vulnerability. Whether it's self-love, love for others, or any other manifestation of love, it’s about intimacy, connection, and beauty.

In this collective series titled ‘Stay the Night With Me’, love is explored through the lenses of six photographers, each offering a unique perspective on the moments and rituals where love reveals itself at its rawest. Through their work, we discover the many forms, colours and textures that unfold with love, those unspoken connections that bind us together — fleeting moments of infinite beauty.

Based in Barcelona, Anna Izquierdo is a photographer and visual artist whose work explores the ambiguous nature of photography and its capacity to both fix and distort memory. For ROWSE, she documents part of the day-to-day life with her friend and flatmate Lucia.

“At nighttime, my friend Lucia and I enjoy the silence at home. Our room becomes an oasis of soft light, soothing scents and pleasant textures. Using the Melatonin Sleeping Mask has become a habit these nights, an end-of-the-day ritual that allows us to wind down and stop the world for a moment.”

Barcelona-based photographer Sabela Andrés’s work captures the subtle beauty of everyday life, reflecting both the vulnerability and strength inherent in human experiences. For ROWSE, she shares intimate moments with her partner.

“What we love about each other isn’t in the grand gestures — it’s in the quiet acts of support, in giving space, in sharing our small rituals. Love is about caring and being there for each other –– it’s about being each other’s anchor, no matter what comes our way.”

Jaime Cabrera Huidobro is a Paris-based photographer whose work explores the intricate dimensions of intimacy and emotion, capturing fleeting moments with depth and sensibility. In this series for ROWSE, he delves into intimacy and selfcare from a sensorial perspective-.

"A space for rest, healing, and connection – it’s in our bedroom where we find ourselves most vulnerable. I wanted to capture the quiet intimacy we experience there, the moments of stillness and self-care that allow us to reconnect with ourselves.”

Charlotte Robin is a self-taught photographer based in Paris whose work focuses on our relationship with irregularity and naivety. Always striving to evoke a sense of softness in her choice of lighting and colors, for ROWSE she captured her friend Elsa as she enjoyed her self-care ritual.

“I wanted to draw attention to self-love and self-care. I believe the most important relationship we should celebrate is the one with ourselves.”

Based in Paris, Jade Deshayes is a photographer and director whose aim is to enhance the beauty she finds in the simplicity of daily life and the passing of time. Particularly sensitive to natural light, in this series for ROWSE she captured the intimacy of Josephine and Loreleï’s bond. 

“First roommates, then friends, Josephine and Loreleï built a home together. Slow rituals shape their days together. As night fades into morning, their connection lingers, not in grand declarations, but in the gentle comfort of presence, of knowing someone is there.”

Based in Barcelona, and particularly interested in clean compositions, soft colours and simplicity, photographer Carla Step captures the poetic transition between night and day and the light as it moves across the body. 

“The last light of the evening carries us into the night while the first light of morning welcomes us back to life. I wanted to explore the quiet intimacy of these fleeting moments and the way light shapes our connection to time, rest, and the simple rituals that surround them.”
