Welcome to In the Flash, a reader-supported publication about intent and creativity in photography.


Finding your voice is a pursuit filled with frustration and fear. My first years in the industry were crippled by a panic that I would never come into my own as a photographer. It was hard to pick a lane, I was interested in everything — portraits, landscapes, street photography — and limiting myself to one or the other felt claustrophobic. The contradiction between experimenting and distilling a visual signature cost me many sleepless nights. What I didn’t realize, is that the fragments of “personal style” were already in place. Honing who you are as a photographer comes with a tricky caveat, it is impossible to get away from yourself.
