Not a problem, a practice: a long-running personal series that keeps the photographic eye sharp between client shoots — and feeds directly into commercial work.

Shot exclusively on 35mm film, one roll per month, no reshoots. The constraint forces decisions at the moment of capture instead of in the edit. Selects are scanned, lightly graded and sequenced twice a year.

The series has grown into a coherent body of work that has booked two commercial shoots on its own — clients hired the eye, not the gear.

Personal work is the R&D department: the grading and framing language developed here shows up in every commercial photo and video job.
