my first reads of 2026!

i wanted to challenge myself to do some more graphic design this year, as it has been neglected for a while (particularly since i’m focused on my photography HNC) and what’s a more fun way to do it than to design some little graphics to show my reads each month, designed for every quarter?

so here is the first quarter of the year — january through to march

in january i read at least one page every day as a part of @the.storygraph’s january pages challenge, and as a result i was super motivated to read, totalling my book count to 9 already! this is the most i have read in any singular month since i was like 8 haha

in february i slowed down a little, but still clocking in at an impressive 5 books! around this time was when i decided to start focusing on my tbr pile at home rather than the library, so it was nice to tick some books off of my shelves

and then finally, march. march was a lot slower for me as i found i had given myself a lot less time to read with being abroad and having quite tight deadlines (and had yet to use BorrowBox to its full capacity), but i still managed to read 3 books! one of my favourite books this year was read in this month, too, How To Say Babylon by Safiya Sinclair.

it was really fun to document the books i had read each month in this format, and i hope it translates to you guys too. very excited to challenge myself for the next quarter (even if i am posting this just under halfway through it 😭)

the standalone part two of my project “growing pains”.

this project mixes my childhood photos and objects with my teenage-adulthood items (ranging from medical to governmental) in an exploration of growing up and transitioning to another gender in the UK.

the first part of this project is made of 4 photos taken on 35mm film using a canon eos 3000; i have projected 4 different childhood photographs over a range of objects including my old binders, bouquets of flowers, medical information sheets for sustanon 250 and desogestrel, and a mask containing statistics about the mistreatment of transgender people in the UK combined with my own gender clinic, deed poll, and pharmacy papers.

the second part of the project is a standalone photograph taken with a large format camera, wherein i have positioned a wide variety of objects to surround my “Baby’s 1sts” book that my parents filled out within a year of my birth. I included my gender clinic referral confirmation, papers explaining a shortage in supply of testosterone, my passport, bouquets of flowers, and the needles, syringes, and ampoule of sustanon 250 that i injected every 3 weeks at the time.

this project was developed as a response to my Photography HNC unit of “Constructed Worlds”.

this set up of using a black background and specific lighting was an idea my teacher suggested to me, and i’m so glad he did 🙏

i was a little concerned the black on black would mean we would lose detail, ans lighting is something i need to work on being more creative with, but seeing how using a seemingly flawed method and making a few tweaks can make a photograph so much more dynamic, crisp and editorial-like is amazing to me ,, feels like magic sometimes haha

these are the last set of shots i have lined up to post from the photoshoot with lucy (although they arent the only ones i loved from this section, it’s mostly an instagram cropping issue, but maybe i’ll post some more in the future 😚)

i will be getting ideas ready for issue 2 of my zine — which i can announce is called Penumbrae — soon, so if you are interested in getting involved then please let me know by DM or email (homesicknote@gmail.com); i might not get around to sorting out a date immediately, but i will contact you in the future once i have time to use the studio again

thank you again to lucy for being an amazing model and making it such a fun time in the studio

more photos with lucy 🤍

i really enjoyed the process of editing these white background photos; cleaning up felt very therapeutic, and the adjustment sliders worked in my favour a lot of the time which meant i could focus on finer details without worrying about the basics

instagram cropping really hates the sizes i made these photos, so some of them lose the full portrait i designed it to be - but fear not (amazing segue) you can see (most) of these in their intended crops in my zine coming soon!
