 What is Risography? 
Risography is a sustainable printing method that consumes little energy.
All the inks are soy-based and the stencils are made from plant fibres (non-toxic), giving a very tactile finish to the uncoated paper. 
The inks sits on the surface of the paper and that is why you will find ink marks and smudges throughout the book. 
The 36-page soft cover book, published by Editions Bessard for Tantopress, showcases 24 never-before-printed images shot between 2004 and 2024 in both Italy and England. 
The project began in December 2023 when I came across some new material while printing in my darkroom. 
Birds and flying animals in general have always been a massive inspiration for me and having been influenced by Eadweard Muybridge and Etienne-Jules Marey and his cronophotography, when I am out photographing, I have always in mind images of mid-air flying objects.
