The Milk Bottle Diaries
photographic series by Sarah Ritchie

This photo series captures life and memories through the lens of a glass milk bottle – the same type of bottle that we left out at the letterbox in my youth (containing coins or tokens) waiting for the milkman to arrive.

 

I love exploring the vibrancy and unpredictability of viewing life through spherical glass, where light and perspective transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.

 

Each image is crafted in-camera with minimal colour retouching and no digital manipulation.
