Biography
I’m a passionate creative photographer, specialising in portraits, lifestyle, advertising and doco style photography – based in Narrm, Melbourne.
Most of my assignments are human based, within the lifestyle and advertising industry. I’m frequently commissioned by production houses and agents to capture local and international media campaigns that showcase a relatable and authentic style of photography.
Commercial collaborations include creating images with high-profile brands such as Fender, Yamaha, Peroni, Shaynna Blaze, Study Melbourne, YAMAHA, Medibank and Heinz, highlighting a balance in artistic authenticity with broad commercial appeal.
Best known for honest human portraits, recently I’ve exhibited personal portraits around Australia as part of The Ballarat Bienalle, The Martin Kantor Prize & The Percival’s in Townsville.
When I’m not working full time as a photographer, I also am also creating personal work (currently including two projects The Perception Project and Sit with me) which are due to be exhibited mid 2025 and 2026.
Outside of holding a camera, you would find me playing with silver ring making, hiking, restoring old furniture and travelling to jungles and old growth forests round the world.
