People who start the day with beautiful things get more out of life. A photo series by still life expert Sebastian Kruthoffer.

In Focus

Every morning a beginning. In the tender light of the new day, the beauty of things awakens. The grip of the brush nestling in the palm of your hand. The fresh scent of soap, a deep breath. The precision of the blade on your skin. A few precious minutes to yourself. Details that matter, giving you strength for the day.
