We Move Slowly in the Mornings, 2025







‘We Move Slowly in the Mornings’ is a long-term photography project documenting the quieter side of navigating Sheps’ early twenties. It revolves around ideas of breathing deeply, living steadily and learning. 

Over time, she collected a series of images, each taken when she felt that she that was doing something right. This led to a small portfolio that Sheps used as a guide for contented living. Coming at a time of a lot of change and confusion, focusing on living slowly was a grounding force that was definately needed. 

Seeing this work publicised in Issue 18 of Al-Tiba 9 solidified the next step of printing it into a book. Shown below, this feature highlights the introduction of this project.
