The Flavescent fog dichotomizes a man who strolls on the saturated Powder-Blue pavement on his way to see the Saffron sea.
I’ve morphed that into a long study of a single place over time. It is really the antithesis of the way that we’re wired.
Fresson printing brings us back to a more authentic aesthetic, making mood and character a priority for the few photographers who get the chance to have their work printed by the Fresson printing workshop.

It really depends. Some shoots are commissioned, some are assignments, some are fine art ideas, some are a combination of all of these routes to a completed image.
