The Making
Sketches, contact sheets and long studio days — the thinking behind the frames.
Overview
Clients see finished galleries; they rarely see the weeks of false starts underneath. The Making turns the camera on the studio itself — planning walls, test strips, marked-up proofs — across a full season of commissions.
The result is part diary, part masterclass: an honest record of how ideas survive contact with reality, and proof that craft is mostly patient revision.
Approach
A small camera lived on the studio desk for four months, picked up whenever something worth keeping happened. No staging, no re-takes — if the moment passed, it passed. The edit favours texture: pencil dust, tape marks, tired hands.
