EVERYTHING MATTERS - New Photo Essay from AndyMkosi-South Africa

Everything Matters does not try to be anything but really explores the idea that anything and everything stands for some reason. As a photographer, it was intended to keep my skill sharp. The project is an escape from my usually themed and societal issues approach to work. From landscapes to decor I would usually not make an image of, there is a slowing down approach that comes with working on this. Now every walk is exciting because I am always finding pieces and quirky frames creating outside of what I have confined myself to over the years. And also searching my own archive for frames I have discarded and so comes together Everything Matters.

Essentially the thinking behind these images was just to sharpen my skill and create outside of brief which is very important. You find that you loose your flair because of the brief. So Everything Matters serves that purpose and also forces me to slow down and consider I normally wouldn’t when making images.
