Sometimes analogue, sometimes digital, always original! The images on this blog are shot by me. To use these images contact me.  I shoot series of images to tell stories and essays which I make into zines and books. I prefer black and white, but do shoot colour, I prefer analogue but do shoot digital. I make hand made prints in Palladium. Prints are for framing or made into handmade books. To buy the zines visit my website or contact me.
