This publication is a quiet space for photographic observation—a place where the eye can rest and return. Inspired by the spirit of Camera Work (produced by Alfred Steiglitz) and the belief that photography is both an art and an act of attention, this zine brings together the work of two artists each quarter: one ongoing voice, and one invited guest.
Each issue gathers a collection of images: fragments of stillness, light, texture, and time. Most are mine. One guest joins me each season to share their way of seeing—our works placed in quiet conversation, without need for excessive commentary.

Current Issue No 2 - Autumn (£10)
This 2nd issue contains images from my work on Shibusa - a Japanese aesthetic. The style of photography evokes a stillness showing the complexity of life through quiet means.
The second half showcases the work of Podge Kelly and his observations of the London Underground. Images taken entirely on his phone camera over several years in a unique and distinctive capture.
