Photographer’s Notes
This is where I share the smaller, more regular thoughts that don’t need a full-length blog post. Think of it as a working journal — a place for quick reflections on photography, lessons I’ve learnt (and am still learning), and the occasional behind-the-scenes note.
These aren’t polished essays or tutorials. They’re shorter, more conversational pieces — the kind of things I’d say over a coffee or on a workshop walk.
Frequently, or infrequently, I’ll post something new here: a thought about light, a story from the archives, or simply an observation about how we work as photographers.
If you’re a fellow photographer, I hope you’ll find these notes useful.
Not everything will apply to you, but that’s the beauty of this format — it’s about sparking ideas, nudging us to keep looking, and keeping the craft front of mind.
