Start with
one question.
Small sequences of notes to guide a practice. Each path works on its own; no equipment list or previous experience required.
Start with a short walk
- One path, three frames
A simple exercise in noticing scale, detail and the space between.
- A notebook for repeat walks
A few useful things to record, and plenty of room to leave blank.
- A familiar route, a different view
Change one variable and let the place do the rest.
Look at light and colour
- A small guide to overcast light
What soft skies reveal in leaves, stone and everyday colour.
- Follow one colour
Give a familiar route a new organising idea.
- After rain: a surface study
Compare what changes when familiar materials become wet.
Make a quieter picture
- Leave room around the subject
A practical exercise in quieter frames and useful empty space.
- Reading shapes before names
A short exercise in lines, intervals and negative space.
- Listen before making a picture
Use a short pause to change what enters the frame.
Give the pictures an order
- Make a contact sheet before you edit
See the whole walk before choosing its most polished picture.
- Edit a sequence of six
A compact method for turning a folder into a readable set.
- Captions that leave room
Describe the observation without inventing the story.
