Push it to the limits
A brand new film is a wonderful prospect in the current analogue photography marketplace, and I am always eager to discover what a modern emulsion, concocted in this decade, can bring to my documentary photography workflow.

A Timeless Story
This editorial came from a desire to tell a timeless story. Through mood and atmosphere, using the expressive tools of analog photography, I wanted to create a visual world that felt both intimate and slightly surreal.

How it all began
“So what’s your next project?”, my friend David asked me over lunch one day in the spring of 2024.
Unprepared for the question, my focus still on my second book, Fragments, which had just been published, my answer was quick and nochalant.
“I think I’m going to dig out my 4x5 and shoot some street portraits of total strangers”.
I surprised even myself with the answer. It was as if I was sitting in his chair and hearing that response for the first time. I can remember the conv...
