I never set out to have a “style.” I edit the way I like and over many, many years I find myself with a rather documentarian approach to my images. I don’t like to over-edit, usually keeping to basic exposure adjustments rather than split tones or colour shifts.

My inspiration is someone who was a freelance photojournalist for over 60 years. He always shot natural light and resisted posing people or setting scenes.

That said, I don’t confine myself to this box or label and try to push my limits and experiment with different photographic techniques and editing styles.

This was a rabbit hole I went down recently that was quite illuminating.

Sensors have a native ISO and any extended (higher or lower) are simply the sensor amplifying or decreasing the signal.

My grandfather was an accomplished and decorated photojournalist who has shot multiple Olympics, politicians and world events. He has an honorary doctorate and has been inducted into the Order of Canada for his contributions. The National gallery houses a quarter million of his images, the most from any single photographer.

On top of this, he was a hell of a guy and a huge inspiration of mine (and many others).

Maybe look into foam mounting. They’re much lighter prints and not deadly if they somehow fall.

Or better yet, they put images of their children in the bath on their socials because “that’s different”
