Based in North Wollongong, NSW•Photography
I am an Australian photographer based in Wollongong on the NSW South Coast. Initially picking up a camera with a focus on creating art, my practice has since evolved into the commercial world as well. Spending the majority of my childhood outside, exploring the bush and coastline around home, my obsessions centred around the ocean and mountains which fuelled many a trip chasing waves or snow. I have a deep appreciation for the natural world, and a love of spending time immersed in it both at home as well as abroad. I have created a range of personal and client work in many harsh environments, and still love nothing more than escaping up a mountain or into the ocean with or without my camera to experience the freedoms they offer. Available for commissions both at home and abroad.
