Profile
I Live in Cobar Outback NSW. I have lived and worked in the bush all my life and I love it especially the red dirt and blue skies.
I currently enjoy portrait and love action shots of dogs,hoping that mine will be just that little bit different. I have been taking photos at sheep dog trials for a few years and really enjoy this type of photography-I love to capture the natural instinct and focus that the dogs exhibit whilst working.
I am a part time assistant to our local photographer and enjoy learning and expanding my skills.
Recently we have formed a local photography group and I am the secretary.
I learn something new everyday and enjoy challenging myself with new ideas and techniques setting goals a little higher.
My passion in life is the German Coolie Dog and I hope that my photos of these dogs will enable people to learn about these dogs, and want to know more. They are such wonderful animals and deserve to be much better known around the world.
They also deserve understanding competent owners and should be chosen with more than a pretty puppy in mind, an intelligent high drive breed of dog that needs an owners total commitment to it
I do though love all dogs though so have no intention of boring people with images of just the same dogs or one particular dog.
I travel quite allot so if you like my approach to animals please contact me as I may be able to capture your mate the way you see them for lasting memories.
I love it when my photos make other people happy
