Well, that happened.
A milestone portrait is my take on a moment that mattered deeply to you. The one that defined you.
Changing tack. Standing back. Leaving home. Finding out.
Written from the messy middle, while it’s all swirling around, or just past it when you’re coming out the other side, but everything’s still a bit tender.
Truer than a journal, where we're sometimes too hard on ourselves, or not hard enough.
Milestones are something to look back on, and then quietly smile to yourself and say;
yeah, that happened. Just like that.
A portrait made from words and photos. By Simon Shattky.
This is what I’ve been doing with my own story, The Full Catastrophe. It’s a real time memoir of change, chaos and consequence. You can read it here.

First we talk.
What you tell me shapes the pictures I take. I turn up, shoot, we talk some more. You get candid, honest pictures that look like you on your best day. Not glossy. You.
Then I write. My observation of your world.
Finally we make it into something you can hold, frame, and pass on. A book or limited run ‘zine.
Celebrate the chaos of life that it invariably is.
Before you buy, it’s really worth having a chat first.
On that note please have a read of the terms & FAQs. I mean no-one ever does do they? But you should. You really should.
Also these things won’t write themselves so there’s a bit of housekeeping to cover off before we can get started.
That buy now button isn’t going anywhere.
