Making Pictures, what?

Making Pictures is an online publication I started in January 2022. It consists of articles and essays about photography and psychology and how they overlap and mix inside the Picture Maker’s spirit. A blog, a newsletter, a collection of notes. Published words through a platform called Substack. The structure is fluid. There is no set reading order, just general themes: mind and patterns, visual language and stereotypes, motivation and inspiration.

Making Pictures is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a subscriber.
