Field Note

Identity through Storytelling

A few thoughts from the road about where this journey is heading.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve brought my work together under my own name.

It has been less about changing direction and more about recognising the direction that has always been there.

For years, I’ve written portraits, travelled through wine regions, explored branding and met people whose stories stayed with me long after we said goodbye.

Looking back, I can see that all those roads were leading towards the same question:

Who are we, really?

That question has become the foundation of my work.

I now think of it as Identity through Storytelling.

This short video was recorded during a quiet stop on a motorcycle ride. It isn’t a manifesto or an announcement. Just a few thoughts from the road about where this journey is heading.

Thank you for following along.
