Seeking Support

Photography is a tough profession. 

A look back at my past posts will follow this theme. 

It’s not all doom and gloom though, and this entry (long overdue) is an optimistic one.

Why? Because I’ve finally broken a seemingly never-ending loop that’s stopped me from putting myself out there and seeking support to continue personal projects. Many of the documentary projects on my website: Trust and Responsibility, Prison in Wartime, Gentlemen in Disguise, The Moranbah Rodeo to name a few, are self-funded.

By selling prints I’ll be able to undertake more of these projects. I’ll also be closer to the dream of living on the road and making a living selling my work. 

But I’ve long been apprehensive about selling prints, and have repeatedly talked myself out of opening a print store. These “reasons” manifest into a cycle of thinking that goes something like this:

- What if no one will buy them?

- Which images should I offer?
- How will I ship them?

- What if no one will buy them?

To be clear, I love physical images. Printing work has never failed to bring a smile to my face. Being able to physically hold something intangible, a moment in time, is extremely rewarding. Having said that, I’ve been stuck in the aforementioned loop since I started my career as a photographer: constantly critiquing, changing and delaying.

That loop stops now, with this post. As I have spent the past week selecting and refining, I can now say that my prints are available for purchase right here on my website. Currently there are 10 images, each in an edition of 50. 

This number of images available will grow and I welcome input on which ones you’d like to see made available. 

Thank you for reading, now please go have a browse of what I have put together. 

Keep building.
