Photography & moving image across people, brands & culture

On Film

I began photographing in 1992 and worked exclusively on film until my gradual transition to digital, between 2004 and 2006. Film never disappeared from my practice. I still carry an analogue camera, often using it alongside my digital equipment, and I develop every roll in-house. Part of the attraction is nostalgic, but the process matters more. Film slows me down. Its limits make each exposure more deliberate and alter the way I look, wait, and decide. These photographs move between commissioned portraits, fashion, travel, and everyday observation. Together they form an ongoing visual diary, spanning different years and contexts but held together by the same material process and attentive way of seeing.
