You can never escape yourself

I sometimes feel that I just take my sensibilities with me, wherever I go. I make photos that fit my own aesthetic, which I would like to think is the aim for most : to show others what ‘you’ saw.

To find some kind of individuality in what you do, so your work stands out from others. Which I think is extremely hard to do in photography.

Making a nice picture is one thing, but being able to make your imagery stylistically recognisable as 'you' is another thing entirely. It’s also one that I don't think can be consciously worked at. Style tends to surface over time, if it surfaces at all, and it will only surface if we're paying attention, and reviewing our work from time to time.

The images above were shot in Mongolia this past year. I am finding the landscape there to have so much great potential.

But these images could almost be of anywhere. Which is the point of this post today. I take my sensibilities with me wherever I go.

The one thing I cannot escape is myself. I am always there in my photographs, one way or another.
