I could have written a long winded biography of my life and journey as a photographer here, but I don’t feel that is necessary.

The short version is this:

I am passionately absorbed with pushing my boundaries and skills as a photographer every single day. I love to photograph, I’m in my element with a camera in my hand whether its the latest digital SLR or a 50 year old medium format film camera. I want to capture a sliver of the human experience visually. To record what it’s like to be there in that one tiny moment of existence. To have a record of the sight, sound, smell, feel, and emotional response of that impossibly short, fleeting moment when everything is absolute… when time stops for that 1/100th of a second. I have been taking photos for close to ten years now – it’s a great job and a wonderful lifestyle. So far it is the best work I have come across for my personality, unless I figure out a way to get paid to drink green tea and eat sushi….!

My months are spent divided between living and working in Melbourne and the Gold Coast. I currently own and operate a large fashion and advertising photography studio on the Gold Coast where I shoot for magazines, advertising agencies and fashion designers.
