About Me

I have been in love with photography all my life. I developed my first black and white print in a makeshift lab in my parents’ laundry way back in primary school, about 35 years ago. Back then digital photography was a concept that no one had even thought of.

I had an old, beaten up Canon A1 35mm camera with a slightly dodgy lens, but it was enough to get me hooked forever.

Fast forward a decade or so and I found myself traveling around the world with a camera permanently attached to my arm, shooting everything from kids playing in the dusty streets of Luxor in Egypt to yaks grazing in the dizzy heights of the Himalayan mountains. I returned home after several years to bolster my practical knowledge with formal training in the shape of a Bachelor of Arts in Photography. I wanted to know more.

The landscape has changed dramatically since then. Digital images are now the industry standard and computers have long since replaced the darkroom. I loved watching black and white prints materialise as if by magic in the deep red glow of a developing bath; however, new technology, with all the possibilities and challenges it provides, keeps me excited to see what’s around the next corner.

I consider myself fortunate to have worked as a professional photographer for an extremely diverse range of clients. I have worked with everyone from international brands to the bloke next door, from small and large businesses to community and sporting organizations, and spent almost a decade as a staff photographer at one of Australia’s most successful and respected daily newspapers.

I think I’m pretty lucky – I have the best job in the world…
