Everything comes up to the surface in the end.
Like salt in still water,
what’s dissolved never truly disappears.
It lingers.
It stains.
It waits.

Truths we wish were shared, spoken.
Moments that never had the light.
Even the ones we tried to hide.

What we hold stays with us—
lodged in the body,
quiet but heavy.
It shapes how we speak,
how we love,
how we show up,
how we pull away,
how we protect ourselves without realising,
and where the weight begins to leak.

Truth has a current of its own.
Some truths stay submerged,
tucked out of sight.
But the ocean doesn’t hold secrets forever.

And when they rise,
they change everything we thought we knew,
surfacing exactly where it hurts the most. 📷 Shot on 35mm film in North Devon

As my North Devon adventure draws to a close, what a blast the last three years have been! Highs and lows, blood & tears, but most importantly, amazing friends & unforgettable memories.

Taking a little time to reflect, but can’t wait to share some of my favorite work from my time at SaltRock soon…

What is love?

Alain de Botton says
That every fall into love involves the triumph of hope over knowledge (from On Love)

The meaning of true love isn’t found in a book or explained in a word or a phrase.
It can’t be defined in a casual thought
Or explained in the simplest of ways.
But what I do know for certain, is that love comes first.

Photography is all about light, composition and, most importantly, emotion. Larry Wilder. It’s not only about what lens you are shooting on or what camera you have in your hand.
Don’t lose sight of what you’re trying to capture.

Time to reflect on SS24.

The Morocco shoot,
channelling that younger version of myself, back to the days where I photographed bands and musicians in urban areas.

Back to when the streets was my studio

Occasionally shooting never goes as planned. The last few shoots have been lessons in letting go of control of visions, learning to taking the pictures that are in front of you, not trying to create the ones that are in your head.
