PROFILE
I have been taking photographs for over 15years now. The past 8 have been internationally and professionally recognized, shooting for various media outlets including; Morrison Media, A.C.P., Emap Australia, Prime Media to name a few. Alongside this, international companies such as Red Bull, Absolute Vodka, KTM Motorcycles and Global Action Sports. I have also served for 8 years as a Design & Technology Photography Specialist Teacher in various High Schools throughout Western Australia.
At an early age my family, peers and my love of the ocean itself influenced me into the water and beyond. This initially led me to specializing in shooting extreme sports of all kinds including; Surfing, Freestyle Motorcross, Bodyboarding, Mountain Biking, skateboarding, wakeboarding...
As my photography evolved I have been fortunate enough to meet and collaborate with incredible people/artists/athletes/places thus enabling me to diversify my photography from breathtaking landscapes, music festivals and concerts to the incredible arrival of a newborn baby.
My charismatic personality and unique ability to capture these emotive photographs enable people to relive the moments as if they are a part of it.
The world changing as it is makes me aware of its extreme beauty and fragility. Photographing and sharing the raw nature of this is one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.
