Hello.

I’ve been working on a photography project that’s been particularly meaningful to me, and I’ve brought the work together into an ebook that I’m really pleased to finally release.

Before anything else, I just want to say a genuine thank you to all of you who support my work as paid subscribers. Your support makes a real difference, it gives me the time and space to pursue projects like this, and to continue sharing both the images and the process behind them. I don’t take that for granted.

The ebook itself is a collection of images from this recent project, along with some thoughts and reflections.

I wanted to make this available as a download as a small way of saying thank you for your support, and for being part of this community. I hope you enjoy spending some time with the images, and that it gives you a sense of the project as a whole. You can download a copy below.

The bracken uncurls

not leaf, not creature,

but something between.

A slow, deliberate geometry,

green spirals tasting the air,

as if remembering a world

older than names.

For a moment,

it feels almost alien

life arriving from elsewhere,

patient, unmistakably alive.

As always, I’d love to hear what you think. And there’s plenty more to come, I’ll be continuing to share new work, along with behind-the-scenes editing sessions and tutorials in the months ahead.
