Dutch photographer Katy Strange  created a series of photos she called 789. The name takes count of the literal number of days over which she captured the friends and lovers who she shared her bed while studying art at university. Katy says her “bed-stories” were a window into her life as a student after hours.

Each photo diaries Katy’s bedtime activities, be it a girls’ night in with best friends, a one-night stand with a fellow art student, or a late night new explorations. Strange has captured of them all.

789 captures the grayscale beauty of young independence and self-discovery. Take a look at some of the best images here.
