Today I am going to answer two frequently asked questions in reference to my alternative analogue photographic practice.
Do you stack one negative on top of another to make double exposures?
No, all effects are created in camera.
Do you develop your negatives and prints?
Absolutely!
As a case in point, the reel below showcases documentation of some of the processes undertaken in the making of "Allay".

The montage-like capture of the tram tracks that run through Royal Park in Parkville represents the continuous path of our unpredictable yet enduring lives, serving as a reminder of our shared experiences and collective journey.
The photograph is part of my ongoing analogue series, "Bike paths of Melbourne." The series aims to highlight the remarkable diversity and revitalising beauty of Melbourne’s inner-city and suburban waterways and parklands.
