Midsomer, 2023 (growth book pages)

A little bit more from the Midsomer project in 2023.
Some of you may have already seen these images as they were used in my book. There was a lot of images from that shoot that I adore.

My heart really wants to work on what big group projects like this year. But work commitments are keeping me a little bit busy.

As always, a big thank you to everyone who made this shoot possible.

Rasing the pledge entry

Hi all, I noticed an increase in users pledging only to cancel minutes after joining. Everyone has their reasons for canceling at any time. But it is this increase of what appears to be fake accounts that has me feeling a little be uncomfortable about it. What I am trying to show here is art. So after thinking about it for some time now , I will be raising the base entry to $5 dollars a month. I am sorry about the increase but I hope everyone understands.

Your friend

Connection to home, with Camila 2024

This year, a project on my heart is compiling stories and art from non white culture and backgrounds.

As a black creative living in Australia,
I want to share stories about the nuances of cultural identity living in a mostly white lead country. I'll be sharing these ideas in the form of a zine with the words , poems, stories from the people I capture for this project.

But for now here are three photos from my time with Camila. A Chilean, national who has called Australia ho...

By the Ocean. Art project 2024 ~ onwards

A series I'm working towards is a collection of sea based photography focusing on a mixture of fine are fine are nude and abstract shape and form.

This image was conceptualized to give a feeling of isolation and alienation. The idea of exploring various themes using seascapes was brought about by how varied and vast they can be. So I hope you'll join me on this project as I continually explore it throughout this year and onwards.

Japan (Tokyo, Osaka , Oita ) 2023

In 7 days I'll be travelling with my partner to Korea and Japan. Last year really rekindled my love of street and nature photography.
.
This year a little goal of mine is compiling the images I have taken in Japan from the years 2013 till now in a small book.
.
There is something cathartic about listening to music on your headphones while sipping a coffee and just watching the world move past you.

Playing around with a Fuji TX - 1, 2022

A few snaps from around the neighbourhood while borrowing a friends Xpan.

I don't normally shoot analogue, but this was a fun little experience while I had the camera. This camera was particularly interesting because of the 9x16 ratio it shoots in. The owner told me the reason he bought this camera originally is beacuse of that cinematic feels the wide angle shots give.

And I have to admit I do see the appeal!

Tales from the swap , Halloween 2023

While wandering by the lake during twilight, I encountered a curious tale. Wild laughter filled the air as observed what appeared to be a ritualistic ceremony. Dancing and weaving, until they disappeared into the darkness. Im still unsure of what saw that night, but the memory still sends a chill down my core. Was it a dream or a nightmare? That cannot say for certain.
