Photography: A Selection

Photography came before design. It was my first job but slowly became a hobby: an excuse to carry a different camera everywhere, from analog and digital medium format down to old CCD digicams. Recently I’ve started shooting again professionally pro bono for friends, and working without a brief turns out to still be the best brief.

5.3 STOP! Or go?
A solitary tower under a clear midday sky beside an empty road.

A person lighting up in a dimly lit room, face half in shadow.
5.6 The other side of zehnliter.
Gloved hands packing screen-printed merch on a cutting mat.
5.7 Is it merch or drugs? But at least no fingerprints!
A black-and-white concrete brutalist building against a dramatic cloudy sky.
5.8 A building that wants to be taken seriously brutal, and a sky that agrees.
