I was going through my archive to find out when I began taking more experimental rather than representational photographs and it seems something clicked in me around August 2018.
In this instance it was intentional camera movement, a technique I have often returned to.
Even more abstract techniques and styles followed. I still take 'normal' images but experimenting is what gets my juices flowing.
Here are four from that turning point.
