Us captures the vulnerability of couples in love, with the comfort and ease of being photographed in their own spaces. They sit together or hold each other in various states of undress, intertwined and, for a moment at least, safe from the pandemic that rages outside their door. Using natural light and finding lived-in corners of their homes -- anywhere from comfy sofas and unmade beds to kitchen counters and garden spaces -- the pair depict each relationship at its most comfortable and open. There's a familiarity to the photographs, which distil the everyday minutiae of life as a couple as much as the affection and warmth of being in love.
