There's something really satisfying about holding a photograph for the first time.
For months I've stared at these images on a monitor, zooming in to fix tiny details, adjusting colours and making countless small decisions.
Then suddenly it's no longer just pixels on a screen. It's something real.
A screen can show an image, but it can't replicate the depth, texture or presence of a print. You slow down. You notice things you'd normally scroll past. It becomes less about consuming an image and more about spending time with it.
These are only test prints, but seeing them in my hands has reminded me why I love creating physical work. The photographs haven't reached their final form yet. They still need to be printed at full size, carefully framed and finished as they were always intended.
Some photographs simply aren't meant to live on a phone screen. They're meant to exist in a space, to be lived with, and to reveal themselves over time.
