Evening all,
Leon here. Just bringing a quick update and hopefully what would be received as good news, but a bit of context first. I’ve been engrossed in this Photography and Photojournalism life for a cool minute now. Thoroughly enjoying every bit of it, while creating what I feel is a pretty solid portfolio of content.
But recently I’ve been really trying to build on my abilities while expanding my expertise. Which as it so happens causes me to return to my roots, and the initial pull that attracted me to photography/cinematography.
The goal of building and developing an independent media house or rather entity with the flagship of that, Unorthodox Magazine. I initially started on my path to this with a team, but at the moment I’ve been pursuing that dream solo.
That said it became apparent to me that I needed the knowledge and ability to produce and carry on the publication on my own where and when necessary, so I recently started teaching myself InDesign, couple that with my photography I decided to do a bit of creative experimentation which led me to this newsletter.
Now I know UM has never really been on the social commentary tip, but this incident or experience is something I really wanted to share.
