About me……..

Let me share with you, some of my story…..

I remember the first time I held a camera, I instinctively  felt connected with it, and it instantly became a form of self expression for me.

I am a dreamer and consequently tend to see things differently to most people I know. Photography enables me to show others what “my inner child sees”, as well as, “my take” on the world.

Asian cultures believe the eyes are the windows to the soul. Whilst taking photos of people, I am focused on a capture of their essence, and the dynamics of their personalities.

Interestingly, when I have the camera’s viewfinder to my eye, I become disconnected to any danger that exists around me. I am in the moment, and in the quest for an emotive & magical shot. It’s what I revel in.

Without fear or trepidation I have hung out of helicopters, capturing some of mother nature’s truly amazing scenery.

I have documented troubled places in the world: capturing religious and racial unrest, tanks & weaponry.

I have walked freely, documenting the seedy side of Sydney life.

I have traversed thick rainforest, alone in the Daintree (yes…croc territory!)

It is only when I am in the safety of my studio doing post production editing, that I sense the very real dangers, that I’d exposed myself to .

I am traditionally trained in photography, working in a darkroom developing my own film. Whilst the digital era is amazing and has introduced endless possibilities for the photographer – working on a computer screen will never replace the romanticism of seeing my work come to life from a chemical bath in a darkroom.

I started my photography business back in 1998, and opened my Studio in early 2000.

My work has sustained me – creatively, professionally, and financially since.

I have won multiple awards for my photography and also for my business, and I am an Accredited Member of AIPP (Aust Institute of Professional Photographers).
