photo-essay
Four Hours at the Fish Auction
A photo essay from the harbour auction at Skerrow Bay: the hall before the first bell, the buyers' hands, the ice, and the morning's last unsold crate.
coast
Ten Frames from Skerrow Bay
Ten frames from three days in a small coastal town, each with a line on why it made the cut. Gulls, nets, a closed kiosk and the best bus shelter in the country.
light
Light at Blue Hour
The short window after sunset when the sky turns a deep, even blue. Why it's worth the cold hands, what it does to colour, and how little time you actually have.
editing
Editing a Series Down to Twelve Frames
Four hundred frames in, twelve out. The method I use to cut a documentary series, the questions that do the cutting, and the picture I loved that had to go.
printing
Printing at Home or at a Lab
I have done both for years. Here is what a home printer gives you, what a good lab gives you, and the point where I stopped arguing with myself and split the work.
lens
A Week with One Lens
Seven days, one 35mm lens, a spare battery and a notebook. What I stopped doing, what I started noticing, and the one frame I would never have made with a zoom.
