A passage of time

A passage of time - ‘the process by which time passes’. A deeply personal and constantly evolving body of work - documenting the lives of those closest to me. Photography is in many ways, a way of keeping and capturing time, hence the name for this body of work. The thing about photographing people closest to me is that they really allow you in, letting their guard down. It is these unguarded moments that grow in value as time passes.

Inspired by a quote that I’ve always loved from one of my favourite photographers.

"I’ve said about a million times that the best thing a young photographer can do is to stay close to home. Start with your friends and family, the people who will put up with you. Discover what it means to be close to your work, to be intimate with a subject. Measure the difference between that and working with someone you don't know as much about. Of course there are many good photographs that have nothing to do with staying close to home, and I guess what I'm really saying is that you should take pictures of something that has meaning for you"
