I’ll explore the various themes that shape my photographic practice, beginning with the question of place, where we choose to point our cameras. Whether it’s the comfort of returning to familiar local areas or the excitement of venturing further afield to discover new landscapes, our choices reflect deeper creative impulses. I'll discuss the unruliness of nature and how we interpret and respond to its inherent chaos through photography. I’ll share how I personally engage with this challenge, while also offering broader reflections on the role of self-awareness in the creative process. Through certain techniques and perspectives, we not only attempt to make sense of the natural world but also quiet the mind, heighten our observation, and ultimately deepen our connection to what we see.
