Week 12 – Showtime

This module has been very much a roller coaster journey for me in terms of developing my practice. Leaving my day job in may 2018 gave me the time and space I needed to develop a range of photographic methods. Many were very much new to me. However family commitments meant I was traveling significantly, […]

Week 3 – Strategies of Sharing
