I was born in Melbourne Australia. From an early age, I became interested in photography through my father who dabbled in photography. So began my journey with the camera! From the age of 12, I knew that I wanted to take photos.

I studied photography as one of my electives in years 11/12. Whilst studying my BA at Monash University I worked as a portrait and fashion photographer. In 1993, after university, I made my way across to England where I studied photography at London School of Photography. I worked as a Concept music producer/ Photographer within the music and fashion industry.

In my travels I used my Canon AE1, however recently I surrendered to the Canon 5D, which I am now totally addicted to. A short time ago I completed an adobe photo-shop course.

Another dimension to my photography is my work and exploration of solar and lunar eclipses which I have been passionately following for 15 years. I have learned, first hand what these eclipses mean to the indigenous people of the different places that I have visited and have shared many rich experiences with people from all over our world who also seek out solar eclipses. After capturing these unique moments with my camera, I have used these extraordinary images to create books & exhibitions. My adventures have taken me through a ghost town in India, to the steaming streets of New York City, a remote peninsula of Venezuela amidst the Celtic magic of Cornwall to the dry red dessert of Southern Australia.

I seek the strange yet wonderful
characters that follow The Eye of God.
These explorations have lead to several exhibitions in London, U.S. and Australia.

My achievements have attracted
features in the Sunday Times ‘UK’, The Big Issue ‘UK’, National Geographic, The Melbourne Age, and the Herald Sun ‘Australia’ as well as personally appearing on The Big Breakfast-
‘UK’, RAW T.V ‘ITV UK’ and
Guest appearances on Radio One-BBC UK’ and Kiss FM.
I have also been invited to photography clubs and schools to give pictorial lessons about my experiences.

I am presently based in Melbourne
Australia working as a LIFE-Cultural-Music-Festival photographer.
