I AM NOT A PHOTOGRAPHERCentral Saint MartinsOctober 2024
I AM NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER explores the medium and meaning of photobooks. As a lowercase p photographer, I feel that there is often a sense of entitlement and authority in making a photobook. When Brooklyn Beckham, for instance, creates a photobook, it’s almost like saying “I’m better than you even if I take shit photos.” 

This book is supposed to be the opposite of that. By embracing awkward sequencing, stream-of-consciousness photography, anti-design ethos, and most importantly, making it overall a bad photobook to engage with, I wanted to call to attention how ridiculous and pompous modern photobooks are.

I AM NOT A PHOTOGRAPHER deliberately undermines traditional photographic and editorial quality for something that is more of a cynical jab at capital P Photographers and their egos.
