About

Hi, I’m Louisa Wells. I’m a photographer and art director based in New York City.

​

Of This Place is a personal archive of images, notes, and studies gathered over time. It holds fragments from different places, including New York, Europe, and elsewhere, through photography, observation, and occasional drawings.

​

It’s an extension of how I tend to move through the world. I rarely experience something once and leave it at that. I return to it, think about it, and look again. This is where those returns live.

​

Most of what’s here comes from being in motion, arriving somewhere new, noticing what’s around me, and pausing long enough for something to register. Not everything is meant to be a full story. It’s more about the moments that linger.

​

Of This Place isn’t meant to explain or document everything. It’s a quieter record of being somewhere, and coming back to it later with a different kind of attention.

It’s for anyone who tends to notice, light in a room, how a place feels, and the in-between moments that are easy to miss but hard to forget.
 

A record of being somewhere.
