02 — About

Looking as a
practice of being.

I'm a photographer based in Scotland, working in street and documentary traditions. My practice is shaped by questions of impermanence, presence, and what it means to genuinely see something.

Adequate Light is both the name of this project and a description of the conditions I work in — not the golden hour, but the ordinary light of ordinary moments.
