160 ☼ Analog Tuscany
Lomography Giveaway: Cameras, Film, and more
Dear friends,
In this week’s letter, new analog work from Tuscany, a new Process Giveaway with Lomography featuring cameras, film, and more.
This week, I added a new members-only area on my website for Process Photo Club. It’ll be the hub for all perks as they’re released—discount codes, free photo book downloads, professional templates, and more. Find it here. (Current members received the password earlier today, and new members will get it in their welcome email after signing up below.)
The latest perk is the long out-of-print "Making of NOTICE" zine, originally available only to those who preordered "NOTICE" in 2021. Members can download it here for free. If you’re not a member but want the zine, it’s available here for €8.99.
Housekeeping
Next Project: The Best Medicine — On October 12 and 13, I’m hosting a two-day studio shoot at Studio 13 to document the Amsterdam comedy community. My goal is to photograph 100 individuals who use humor to positively impact life in the city. If you're a stylist, videographer, or shoot BTS and want to be a part of it, let me know via email!
Tuscany On Expired Film
I already wrote about the wonderful experience that was taking my first vacation in fifteen or so years in Tuscany in Process 157, so this time I’ll let the images speak for themselves. Here’s a small selection of the analog work I shot a few weeks ago.
I will share more analog work from this trip soon, including medium-format street photography from Rome. In the meantime, see Process 157 for some digital work.
NEXT WEEK: How to write a design brief for a photo book cover that helps the designer understand your vision + the reveal of the preorder date for my upcoming photo book NOTICE Journal Volume One, and more!
Keep shooting and take good care of yourselves and others. <3

All three winning images will also be featured in an upcoming issue of Process. To enter this week’s giveaway, submit your photos in response to one of my favorite assignments from Process Work Book, Volume One:
“Challenge yourself to capture a portrait without showing the subject’s face directly. Use creative composition, symbolism, and metaphor to convey their personality, emotions, or story through subtle visual cues and detail.”
You can submit up to 10 photos, taken on any film—or if digital, with a Lomography Art Lens. Be sure to include the camera, film, or lens used for each photo.
To view the 200+ submissions we’ve already received, and send in your own, go here.
This competition is for Process subscribers only, open worldwide and will end on December 10th.
These are timeless, capturing the atmosphere and people with a nostalgic vibe, IMHO.
Lovely photos. The BW is a stunner - fabulous tones.
