Sketchbook
As a working creative, the process is often messy, unpredictable and volatile. Over the years, I have found it important to allow yourself space to break away, experiment and make mistakes. It is within this space one can discover new ideas or techniques that may bring value to your craft. Or it can simply be reprieve to rest your mind and recharge.
I enjoy many genres of photography. It allows opportunities for different creative experiences and the use of different tools. The majority of my images never make it into any of my curated collections which is completely fine. For me, the process is the important end product; the image is a mere memento.
Welcome to my sketchbook - the rough sketches, outtakes and notes from the field.
Thank you for stopping by. - M
