Photographing for Others
If I woke up tomorrow to find a world in which I was the only human being (coincidentally, one of my favourite recurring dreams), I would still photograph? more
The Photo Book
There are different reasons why books provide enlightenment and meaning which is absent from other supports. more
The Power of Transitions
The art of linguistic creativity relies heavily on tools of communication; words, punctuation, articulation, metaphor and nuance. more
The Importance of Self-Critique
Learning to self-critique requires confidence in one’s own work as well as self-knowledge. We must be confident enough in our abilities and vision to not fear failure. more

Changing Perceptions in Landscape Photography
If the message is meant to raise awareness or be a call to action, then the photographer is best served by also adopting behaviours and strategies that support the veracity of their narratives. more
