Building Quietly Behind the Scenes

Since writing my last post, life has felt full in a very different way.

Work has been crazy, the kind of busy that blurs days into each other, and finding time for creativity has meant carving it out intentionally rather than waiting for it to appear. It’s a strange shift from university life, where everything revolved around making. Now, creating exists alongside long shifts, responsibilities, and the reality of building something slowly.

But even in the chaos, things have been moving quietly behind the scenes.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been exploring new ideas for this website, thinking about how it can grow with me rather than just document what I’ve already done. I’ve been researching platforms, testing layouts, rethinking how work is presented, and most excitingly, beginning the process of opening my own online shop.

The idea of creating a space where my photographs can live beyond the screen, in prints, different formats, or maybe even small curated collections, feels like a natural next step. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, but like most things worth doing, it takes time to build properly. I’m currently developing a platform that will allow images to be purchased in various formats and sizes. It’s still very much in progress, and there’s more learning involved than I anticipated, but I’m determined to get it right rather than rush it.

Alongside this, I’ve added a new page to the website featuring photographs from Oradour-sur-Glane. This body of work was created during my third year at university and formed the case study at the heart of my dissertation. Returning to these images feels significant. Oradour-sur-Glane is not just a location; it’s a preserved memory, a space suspended in time. Photographing it shaped the way I think about absence, preservation, and the ethics of looking. Revisiting that work now, outside of an academic framework, allows me to see it differently (less as an assignment and more as a turning point in my practice).

It feels important to share it here.

Even though things may appear quiet on the surface, there’s a lot unfolding. Growth doesn’t always look dramatic; sometimes it looks like research tabs open at midnight, sketching ideas in notebooks, or reorganising image sequences until they finally feel right.

I’m building something slowly and intentionally, and I’m excited for you to see it take shape.

As always, thank you for being here and following along. There’s more to come very soon.
