About me

I've been many things before I became a photographer. 

I've got a degree in Cultural Anthropology, and I was a chef and a dive guide in Africa, among other things. I couldn't see myself doing any of those jobs for the rest of my life. The turning point came in Australia when, working a job I hated, I discovered instructions for a simple matchbox pinhole camera.

In retrospect, that website changed my life. Photography became my hobby, then my passion, and finally my job.

Ironically, I had no interest in weddings—I thought of weddings as uninspiring and filled with posed, cheesy images. But when I finally photographed one for a work colleague, everything changed. I now love that weddings are never dull or repetitive; they brilliantly combine the demands of fashion, portraiture, documentary, event, and product photography.

I shoot 30–35 weddings annually because every one is an opportunity to create a portfolio-worthy image. I’ve captured authentic, happy, and creative memories for over 300 happy couples to date.

My work has been professionally recognised and published by top industry sources, including:

• Lookslikefilm

• The AIPP Australian Professional Photography Awards (2018)

• Capture Magazine Top Emerging Photographers (2018)

• Photoreview Print Feature
