WORKS IN PROGRESS
The Persistence of Passion - An Archival Record of Meaningful Pursuit
The finish line is easy to celebrate, but the drive to get there is where the story lives. Works in Progress documents people in the act of chasing what they care about.
This is about the daily evolution and the accumulation of progress that defines a life’s work. It is a community collective designed to document artists, makers, and organizations doing work that matters.
No staging. No performance. No pressure. NO COST.
Just an honest, archival look at the labor, craft, and beliefs that drive us.
A photographic-only look behind the curtain. Unaffiliated. Unsponsored. Unapologetic.
Processing the Present
I have total aphantasia. I cannot form mental images; my internal memory is blank and mute.
Photography is how I process and preserve the world. Since 2019 (and earlier), I have been building "Periphery in Motion”- an external memory book of the scenes around me.
Works in Progress extends that practice to you, capturing your energy and your project. Any stage of the journey, because they all matter. A quick pause before the moment passes.
I hope you join me; this is my legacy project.
Who This Is For
I document practices that command attention: makers, nonprofits, and teams driven by curiosity and pride. I’m looking for the work that defines you, regardless of whether you’re just starting or years into the craft.
Scale: From solo practitioners to teams of 40+.
Requirement: You must believe in what you are building and be willing to be seen exactly as you are.
Reality: This is not a "brand shoot." Do not tidy up. Do not put on a show. Whether you are at the peak of a project or in the middle of a mess, I am interested in the work as it actually is.
The Exchange : My Goal is the Record
The Session is Free. Participation in the Archive is never contingent on purchase. The priority is the documentation.
Included at No Cost
The Archive Entry: A public entry in the collective featuring a curated set of images, brief written context, and a link to your work.
10 High-Res Images: Your choice of five full-resolution images for your own use (Social, Web, Print) with attribution.
No watermarks, no hidden fees.
Optional: Full Gallery Access - $225
Want the full narrative? Secure the complete collection for commercial use.
The Complete Collection: Every image from the session (typically 30–50+)
Ownership: Full commercial use of the entire collection with attribution.
Proceeds from gallery access directly support the ongoing sustainability of the Works in Progress project.
The Session: Enter. Document. Exit.
I show up, document, and depart. No shot lists, no staging, no stress.
Duration: ~45-60 minutes of you working as you normally would or showcasing your project.
The Approach: Quiet and unobtrusive. I stay out of the way; the work remains the focus.
The Trust: No reshoots or edit requests. You are trusting my eye to capture the spirit of what you are building.
LET’S WORK TOGETHER
I am openly seeking participants. If you are ready to show your work honestly, let’s talk. No pressure, no pitch or sell - just a conversation to see if we are a fit. Sessions typically booked 1 - 4 weeks in advance.
