I want people to feel something,\u201d says photographer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/domino_leaha\/\">Domino Leaha<\/a> of her latest project, <\/span><em><span>Unfulfilled<\/span><\/em><span>. The intimate photobook documents over a decade of relationships, tracing the lives of the artist\u2019s closest friends, lovers and muses across London, Los Angeles, Milan and New York. \u201cI photographed the people that I love the most,\u201d she explains. \u201cSome of them I\u2019m still in touch with, others were ex-lovers, and a few of them are old friends that I don\u2019t speak to anymore.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The name might seem opposed to a project centred around intimate love, but the title takes its name from a period of heartbreak in Leaha\u2019s life. \u201cI was brokenhearted by a boyfriend at the time. When I looked at the Shakespeare sonnets I was obsessed with, the word \u2018unfulfilled\u2019 stood out to me. I realised it captured exactly what I was feeling \u2013 a sense of wanting, of requiring more than could be returned.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"7ae4ebb7-99de-4700-9fc6-b40e01489a3e\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441658.JPG\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.51\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Unfulfilled \" class=\"img\" height=\"1990\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441658.JPG\" width=\"3000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Photography Domino Leaha<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>That feeling is a throughline within the project, co-existing alongside the closeness each of these relationships held. \u201cThese pictures tell the private and personal narratives of loss, heartbreak, and addiction we can all find in ourselves. Stories of longing, vanity, defiance, joy, and surrender are all part of the tragedy and grace of life, in its ever-unfulfillable nature,\u201c shares Leaha in the project\u2019s foreword. Many of the subjects, she explains, were navigating their own forms of fragility \u2013 addiction, anorexia, withdrawal. \u201cAll the people in the book are broken,\u201d she says, \u201cand I was broken too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The chapters within the project are arranged by name, each with personal shots of the subjects: some are sprawled across bedsheets, others topless and sitting poolside, in one, the subject is entirely naked, splashed in an electric blue paint and thrashing around on a mattress. \u201cI found it very interesting to take pictures of these people in different moments of their lives,\u201d Leaha explains. \u201cYou can see the changes, the moments before and after certain events\u2026 It\u2019s like a visual diary of intimacy,\u201d as she recalls how one subject appears in 2018 and again in 2022 before relapsing, or how another shuttled in between squats in New York as she photographed them.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"b20e2551-c9a4-46ff-9bce-b40e01489f66\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441659.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.51\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Unfulfilled \" class=\"img\" height=\"1989\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441659.jpg\" width=\"3000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Photography Domino Leaha<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Alongside the photographs, <\/span><em><span>Unfulfilled<\/span><\/em><span> is accompanied by scans of handwritten notes and scraps of letters. \u201cI wanted to give the audience the opportunity to see what the people think about being photographed by me,\u201d explains Leaha. In one, her friend Melanie Blue\u2019s hand-scrawled note signs off with \u201cThank you for loving my scars and invading me with your passion like a tender disease.\u201d In another, from Martina, \u201cI\u2019ve crossed oceans to see you again. Love never dies.\u201d Various others recount how they met the photographer, some writing poems recalling the magnetism that made their relationships at the time so special and others more austere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In this way, the project reads almost like a diary \u2013 one Leaha never set out to create, drawn instead to simply capturing what surrounded her at different moments in time. While she speaks of a tendency to create cinematic shots, the subjects are often pictured in mundane spaces: cluttered bedrooms, echoing apartment hallways, or local parks. \u201cI don\u2019t edit anything within my work, instead I like to play with lights and composition a lot,\u201d she explains, reinforcing the sense that what we are seeing is as close to the moment as possible. <\/span><span>Even when removed from context, the images convey a feeling Leaha sees as central to <em>Unfulfilled<\/em>\u2019s impact. \u201cPeople don\u2019t know me or these people I photographed,\u201d she says, \u201cbut I hope they can still feel something close to what I felt.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span>Unfulfilled will show at Quattro Milano gallery on 9th of April 2026\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-inline-last\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-small\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<h1 class=\"newsletter-title\">Escape the algorithm!

I want people to feel something,\u201d says photographer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/domino_leaha\/\">Domino Leaha<\/a> of her latest project, <\/span><em><span>Unfulfilled<\/span><\/em><span>. The intimate photobook documents over a decade of relationships, tracing the lives of the artist\u2019s closest friends, lovers and muses across London, Los Angeles, Milan and New York. \u201cI photographed the people that I love the most,\u201d she explains. \u201cSome of them I\u2019m still in touch with, others were ex-lovers, and a few of them are old friends that I don\u2019t speak to anymore.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The name might seem opposed to a project centred around intimate love, but the title takes its name from a period of heartbreak in Leaha\u2019s life. \u201cI was brokenhearted by a boyfriend at the time. When I looked at the Shakespeare sonnets I was obsessed with, the word \u2018unfulfilled\u2019 stood out to me. I realised it captured exactly what I was feeling \u2013 a sense of wanting, of requiring more than could be returned.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"7ae4ebb7-99de-4700-9fc6-b40e01489a3e\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441658.JPG\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.51\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Unfulfilled \" class=\"img\" height=\"1990\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441658.JPG\" width=\"3000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Photography Domino Leaha<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>That feeling is a throughline within the project, co-existing alongside the closeness each of these relationships held. \u201cThese pictures tell the private and personal narratives of loss, heartbreak, and addiction we can all find in ourselves. Stories of longing, vanity, defiance, joy, and surrender are all part of the tragedy and grace of life, in its ever-unfulfillable nature,\u201c shares Leaha in the project\u2019s foreword. Many of the subjects, she explains, were navigating their own forms of fragility \u2013 addiction, anorexia, withdrawal. \u201cAll the people in the book are broken,\u201d she says, \u201cand I was broken too.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The chapters within the project are arranged by name, each with personal shots of the subjects: some are sprawled across bedsheets, others topless and sitting poolside, in one, the subject is entirely naked, splashed in an electric blue paint and thrashing around on a mattress. \u201cI found it very interesting to take pictures of these people in different moments of their lives,\u201d Leaha explains. \u201cYou can see the changes, the moments before and after certain events\u2026 It\u2019s like a visual diary of intimacy,\u201d as she recalls how one subject appears in 2018 and again in 2022 before relapsing, or how another shuttled in between squats in New York as she photographed them.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure class=\"inline-img expandable dev-view-hide\" data-img=\"b20e2551-c9a4-46ff-9bce-b40e01489f66\" data-src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/2000\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441659.jpg\" data-img-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\" data-img-aspect-ratio=\"1.51\"><span class=\"has-css-custom-props image-container\" data-aspect-ratio-type=\"landscape\"><span class=\"preserve-aspect-ratio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Unfulfilled \" class=\"img\" height=\"1989\" src=\"https:\/\/images-prod.dazeddigital.com\/786\/azure\/dazed-prod\/1440\/1\/1441659.jpg\" width=\"3000\"><\/span><\/span><figcaption class=\"img-caption\"><span class=\"credit\">Photography Domino Leaha<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"embed-content\" data-embed-type=\"raw-html\">\n<p><span>Alongside the photographs, <\/span><em><span>Unfulfilled<\/span><\/em><span> is accompanied by scans of handwritten notes and scraps of letters. \u201cI wanted to give the audience the opportunity to see what the people think about being photographed by me,\u201d explains Leaha. In one, her friend Melanie Blue\u2019s hand-scrawled note signs off with \u201cThank you for loving my scars and invading me with your passion like a tender disease.\u201d In another, from Martina, \u201cI\u2019ve crossed oceans to see you again. Love never dies.\u201d Various others recount how they met the photographer, some writing poems recalling the magnetism that made their relationships at the time so special and others more austere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In this way, the project reads almost like a diary \u2013 one Leaha never set out to create, drawn instead to simply capturing what surrounded her at different moments in time. While she speaks of a tendency to create cinematic shots, the subjects are often pictured in mundane spaces: cluttered bedrooms, echoing apartment hallways, or local parks. \u201cI don\u2019t edit anything within my work, instead I like to play with lights and composition a lot,\u201d she explains, reinforcing the sense that what we are seeing is as close to the moment as possible. <\/span><span>Even when removed from context, the images convey a feeling Leaha sees as central to <em>Unfulfilled<\/em>\u2019s impact. \u201cPeople don\u2019t know me or these people I photographed,\u201d she says, \u201cbut I hope they can still feel something close to what I felt.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><span>Unfulfilled will show at Quattro Milano gallery on 9th of April 2026\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"newsletter-inline-last\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-small\">\n<div class=\"inner\">\n<h1 class=\"newsletter-title\">Escape the algorithm!
