About

I have been interested in photography since I was 16. I started out by sneaking into small gigs and taking with me a little point and shoot camera, shooting anything interesting that I could get away with. This continued for two years until I recieved my first DSLR, my old faithful 300D (which is still working, several years later!).

The following year, I went on tour with the then infamous Australian band Machine Gun Fellatio as their photographer, on what would turn out to be their final tour before breaking up. I toured the East coast from Sydney, down to Melbourne and Canberra, before shooting their final gig in far North Queensland. I still see some of the guys around at their own solo shows, and wouldn't be where I am without them.

After the MGF tour, I had most of a year off due to an almost fatal medical incident. I then started following Brisbane band The Red Paintings, attending and shooting several of their shows through NSW. I was asked by their lead singer to be their photographer for their tour with US duo The Dresden Dolls, which took me back to Melbourne, home to Sydney and then up to Brisbane for the first time.

After the tour I moved briefly to Melbourne, and then up to Brisbane, where for the next two years, I became involved in several photographic endeavours, including more work for The Red Paintings. I also began shooting local cabaret and burlesque acts on a regular basis, worked with the fantastic Deep Blue Orchestra, and also expanded my repertoire to include circus, more portrait work, landscapes and street photography. Through all of 2008 I was also heavily involved in music photography, working most weekends for FasterLouder.com.au

At the end of 2008 I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma, and moved back to Sydney for seven months of treatment. I'm now in remission and am looking to get back into my photography, just like before.

Outside of photography you might find me either playing my ukuleles, bass or guitar. Or perhaps travelling, reading or looking up into the sky.
