Why I Still Believe in Printing Photographs

Photography today is mostly experienced on screens. Images move quickly through feeds, timelines and algorithms, often seen for only a moment before disappearing into the endless scroll.

But photographs behave differently when they exist in print.

Quiet Photography

Street photography is often associated with movement, confrontation, and decisive moments. My experience has been very different. Over time, I’ve realised that I photograph quietly.

Photography, for me, is less about chasing moments and more about noticing them.

Favourite Photo Books of 2025

I’ve always gravitated toward photo books, not out of nostalgia, but because print asks something different of us. In a culture shaped by speed and endless scrolling, a book slows everything down. It has weight, sequence, intent. You don’t flick past a photograph in print, you arrive at it. You turn the page, you pause, you move on when you’re ready.
