Hi, greetings from the sandbar in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

I live on one of Australia’s most remote and little known territories, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands located literally in the middle of the Indian Ocean.

When I moved to Cocos I started dabbling a little with photography. It soon became apparent that I’d finally found something I was passionate about. I am totally self-taught. Each time I go out shooting I try to challenge myself with something new I’ve learnt via google. It is very difficult not to want to grab a camera and start shooting the amazing beauty that surrounds me on a daily basis.

I am happily married to a very, very patient husband and have a gorgeous teenage daughter from a previous marriage.

My own personal achievement is self-publishing a coffee table book called Reflections of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands It just proves you are never to old to live a dream.
