my daddy bought my my first camera when i was 8 i havent been without a camera since. love the magic of seeing images appear in front of my eyes in the dark room. love the thrill of waiting outside the lab for my proofs. love the sound of the shutter.

moved to melbourne in jan 08 and am totally inspired by this city. im from adelaide and i love it there too. have a degree in visual arts specialising in photography.

i have had a number of exhibitions in adelaide which have been relatively successful. would love to be involved in exhibiting here in here in melbourne too.

im inspired by many things and shoot anything from random and incidental when walking down the street to highly planned and thought about conceptual art projects.
