For nearly a decade I have worked with coffee to develop my films, black and white and colour alike. Before I started drinking Flat whites, lattes and French pressed, there was hot chocolate. One drink that inspired my next experiment, developing black and white film in a Chocolate Developer.
Read MoreThere is so much literature and research on memory and photography that it is hard to know where to start. Therefore, I wanted to begin and open this conversation by sharing a photograph from my past. The following memory is one I believe only I will remember and concerns an image I no longer have.

Read MoreOne day, as I was laying on the sofa, my friend Molly messaged me to tell me about Stockholm Gallery weekend. As I had been off social media, I hadn’t seen anything about it but quickly booked it off of work before they sorted out the next schedule. Great, I thought, I could finally go immerse myself in some art for a day. So I wanted to share with you my favorite moments from the weekend.
Read More…My brain has been full of questions interrogating my own feelings concerning my creative work and practice. My one plan for October was simply to ‘reflect’ but each question I asked myself produced more.

Hallgren was the first of the collection I had explored and today I am sharing what I found about the second photographer, Josefina Franke.

Read MoreIn Autumn of last year, I posted a news update about my series ‘Please?’ being accepted by Shutter Hub for their next exhibition ‘Your Body Belongs to You’; co-curated by Karen Harvey (Shutter Hub Creative Director) and Marisol Mendez (Shutter Hub member and photographer of MADRE). I am super excited to announce the finalised dates for the show!
Read MoreIf you follow me on Instagram, you’ll have seen that in February, I posted about a small photography bundle that I had purchased from a second hand shop in Gamla Stan, Stockholm. My haul consisted of five carte de visite and a Christmas issue of the magazine Femina. Upon scanning, I realised two of the cards I had bought were made by two different women owned photography studios! As it is Women’s History Month, what better way to end it with a dive into the histories of these photographers!

I wanted to do this a little different to the biographies and such that I have seen on other blogs, by giving you a look at the way I work.
