Ten days in Al Ain in February
Long drives, soft February light and eight weavers: notes from making the Ghazal book.

Why I still shoot bakeries at 4am

About the journal
I write here every month or two: the stories behind a commission, what I’ve learned about light in the desert and the mountains, and answers to the questions clients ask most often.
If there’s something you’d like me to write about, from licensing to what to wear, send it through the contact form. The best questions turn into posts.
