Blank Notes by Marshall To is an intimate, diary-like photobook that gathers small, delicate, and emotionally open moments from everyday life. Working with a quiet, observational sensibility, To photographs streets, interiors, friends, fleeting gestures, and passing light—images that feel like fragments of memory caught just before they disappear. His color palette is soft and contemplative, giving each photograph the mood of a personal note written to oneself.
The book reads like a visual notebook: raw, honest, and beautifully unpolished. Rather than constructing a linear narrative, To lets intuition guide the sequencing, creating a rhythm of quiet scenes that slowly build into a portrait of time, youth, and daily life. Blank Notes carries the gentle sensitivity that defines much of contemporary Asian personal documentary photography.
