After a few dreadful years, 2025 was not just a turning point for me personally but for the world. On the eve of the 200th anniversary of the invention of Photography it became the year that AI generated images & tools proliferated to such an extent that it coined a new phrase "AI Slop". We all began questioning what is real in photography, our lives & our futures. Politically & financially the global world order shifted & nothing seems to make sense anymoreI spent the year studying & reinvested in my passion for photography, colour theory & digital imaging & I found strength to keep moving forwardIssue 3 shares some images from my studies & exhibitions over the year
