What pieces or projects have you been working on lately?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>
I typically don\u2019t think about my work in terms of projects. My approach to photography has always been to keep my camera on me and see what comes up. I do seek out and visit places that I think will look interesting on camera, but my favourite images are often those I come across while doing something else. I don\u2019t often plan ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This approach has benefitted from the fact that I\u2019ve been to a lot of interesting places in the last few years. I\u2019ve visited Scandinavia, been to weddings in places I\u2019d never been, and I\u2019ve been exploring my city through the lens of a new camera. Now that I\u2019m home a little more often and I\u2019ve photographed most of my regular spots, I don\u2019t have as many opportunities to be inspired by new places and subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that context, I guess my current \"project\" is to seek out subjects in my local area and be a little more deliberate about how I photograph them. I\u2019m trying to rely less on stumbling on something I\u2019ve never seen and instead capture the things I see all the time but haven\u2019t noticed before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What did you learn (or unlearn) while working on them?
<\/strong>I think primarily I\u2019m learning to be more conscious of the possible subjects in my daily life. When I\u2019m running errands or commuting home from work, I\u2019m looking around for places and objects that I can return to later. Planning to take photos of certain things has also led me to picturing the image I want to make before I make it. This process is teaching me to search for new angles and frames because I can\u2019t always rely on being struck by subjects that immediately give an idea for the image I want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What words, ideas or emotions were going through your head?<\/strong>
I\u2019ve always found that in creative work I experience a cycle. I make some images that I\u2019m really happy with and then I trap myself into trying to recreate them, or at least to match their quality. So in that context, I\u2019d say that the main \u2018idea\u2019 that I have in my head over the last few months is to free myself of the expectations that I\u2019ve built up for myself about what makes a \"good\" or \"interesting\" photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Were there any conversations, movies, music, or books that made their way into that work?
<\/strong>I\u2019m always thinking about a book I bought in 2024 about Saul Leiter\u2019s work, The Centennial Retrospective<\/a><\/strong><\/em>. This is especially relevant at the moment as I discovered whilst reading it that most of Leiter\u2019s photographs were taken within a few blocks of his home. His work makes great use of foregrounds and blocking to create interesting images out of daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I often find myself inspired by the cinematography in the films I watch. Recently, I was really moved by the cinematography in Kelly Reichardt<\/a><\/strong> 's film Meek\u2019s Cutoff<\/em>. The film is set in the desert east of Oregon, but the characters are positioned in the barren landscape in a way that makes for compelling frames. I\u2019ve also been enjoying Abbas Kiarostami <\/a><\/strong>'s filmography for the way he is similarly able to move me with quite simple subjects. Taste of Cherry<\/em> <\/a><\/strong>and Where is the Friend\u2019s House?<\/a><\/em><\/strong> are two films of his that I\u2019ve loved in the last month or so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What's been the most difficult thing you've faced recently in your creative process?<\/strong>
Creating the motivation to go out and work rather than relying on spontaneous inspiration. It\u2019s hard to make time for photography at the moment and so it\u2019s been a challenge to find the energy to go and create images that might not turn out. I\u2019ve been working on consciously acknowledging the value in experimentation even when it doesn\u2019t work as intended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite restaurant and what do you recommend we order?
<\/strong>My favourite restaurant would have to be Happy Boy<\/a><\/strong>, in Brisbane. I\u2019ve been more times than I can remember and I\u2019m always excited to go back. It might sound basic, but their green beans are spectacular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If your life were a movie this month, what would it be called and who would write the soundtrack?
<\/strong>I think I\u2019d name the movie after Free Treasure<\/em>, a song by Adrienne Lenker<\/a><\/strong>. I feel like that song captures the essence of what I\u2019m always hoping to do more of with my photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the score, I\u2019d like Jeff Grace<\/a><\/strong>, who composed the score for Meek\u2019s Cutoff<\/em>, which I\u2019ve been listening to on repeat. Either him, or Talk Talk<\/a><\/strong> in their Spirit of Eden-era<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Recommend one or more artists you follow who inspire you, and tell us what you like most about their work or their way of working.
<\/strong>I\u2019ve always loved the work of my friend Riley Dent<\/a><\/strong>. His willingness to experiment with new ideas and to challenge himself and his abilities is inspiring. Recently I discovered Kyle McDougall<\/a><\/strong> on YouTube and have been religiously watching his vlogs to see him describe the process and thinking behind his projects. He has taken some of the most stunning photographs I\u2019ve ever seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
