Coverage
A day of environmental portraits, self-initiated

I went to a woodworking workshop to take some environmental portraits and photos of the space — a day spent photographing them as they worked: marking out, cutting, the slow checking and rechecking that good making is.

It was self-directed work, but they were glad to have the photographs afterwards.
