Model, Photographer, Studio Manager

I am a portrait photographer from Perth, Western Australia.
In my personal work I use self portraits as a medium to explore visual concepts that are influenced by fairy tales, folklore and a love of fantasy novels. Photography is a form of escapism for me, so i use a variety of wigs, make-up and costumes to create characters for my photoshoots.
I started to pursue photography when i was 17 as a stock photographer and was inspired by other artists on DeviantArt to delve deeper into the world of creative photography.

For the last 8 years I have been working for a high end portrait studio, photographing people from all of their stages in life from maternity and newborns to children, pets and family also my favourite genres of couples, glamour and nudes.
An associate member of the AIPP, i have won numerous awards for my work photographing families.

my work is studio based and usually created in the later hours of the night.
