Projects

A book does not end when it leaves the printer.

It enters bookshops, libraries, institutions, homes and conversations. It is photographed, circulated, collected, discussed and sometimes rediscovered years later.

The projects developed alongside The Book Photographer Studio examine this wider life of books.

Through recorded conversations, curated gatherings and written research, I bring together the people, knowledge and experiences surrounding contemporary publishing.

Each project uses a different format, but they share one purpose: to create more attention for how books are made, encountered and valued.

Photography is where the studio begins.
It is not where it ends.

Book Making as an Art Form

Book Making as an Art Form is a podcast and live conversation series dedicated to the people who shape books.

Through conversations with publishers, designers, printers, artists, booksellers, distributors and cultural institutions, the project examines how publications are produced, circulated and experienced.


Rather than focusing only on the finished object, each conversation looks at the decisions, relationships and working processes that make a book possible. And personal stories. Because behind every book, there is a person, and often a group of people who developed it.

Recordings take place in cultural and publishing spaces, allowing each episode to become both a public encounter and a lasting source of knowledge.

Books & Wine: A Taste Salon

Books & Wine: A Taste Salon is an intimate cultural experience built around books, taste and conversation.

Each edition brings together a curated selection of art and photography books, carefully paired wines. The publications are introduced not as objects to be reviewed, but as starting points for observation, storytelling and shared reflection.

Guests are invited to slow down, look closely and experience how image, material, memory and taste can influence one another.

The format is created for small public gatherings, private groups, cultural programmes and organisations looking for a more thoughtful way to bring people together.

Each salon is developed around a different theme and is never repeated in exactly the same form.

Journal

The Journal is where I reflect on what has happened through the studio, the podcast, and life - and where those experiences might lead me next.

I write about projects: what worked, what surprised me, what challenged my assumptions, and what I would do differently.

These reflections are often personal, but they also connect to broader questions about photography, publishing, cultural work, and building an independent creative practice.

The Journal is more than a collection of studio stories. It is also a way for me to connect with you, to stay open, and to remain curious. I strongly believe vulnerability can be a strength.

Looking back. Reflecting. Looking ahead.
