Photography - What drives me
"To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them".
- Elliott Erwitt -
My Story
I have always loved photography. I started out playing with my fathers old SLR developing negatives in a makeshift darkroom in my bedroom and then taking a class at high school.
In my mid 20s I travelled the world and loved capturing some unique places. I was lucky enough to go through Africa (image above), Europe and South America. Settling back in my home city of Melbourne and raising a family I took a hiatus from the camera. Picking it up the camera again taking portraits. But my love of capturing nature and urban landscapes flared again and I am back to doing what I love.
​
This website is a way for me to share my passion and bring a little of my view of this beautiful world to life by sharing it.
I hope you are filled with as much passion and wonder as I do when you look at my photographs.
