OVERVIEW

Process, then product.

Shows how the thing was made, then the thing. Project pages open with the finished piece and unfold into the working stages underneath it.

Makers sell the process as much as the object, but most portfolio themes only have room for the finished photograph. This one gives the working stages their own structure.

A stage is a dated entry with images and a note. Together they form a timeline under the finished piece, which a commissioner can read to understand what they are actually buying.

Commissions went up when people could see the middle.

WHAT YOU GET

The middle of the making.
