I live in beautiful coastal Tasmania and spend most of my time happily tending to the needs of my husband and two young children. In my less frantic moments, I write and take photographs, which is something I have done a good deal of ever since working in a war zone in the early 1990’s and deciding I had to capture my experiences in both images and words.

I don’t use Photoshop, so what you see is pretty close to the original shot, if not identical. I do, however, use HDR software sometimes, so I have quite a few images made using multiple exposures, often to give an antique or storybook effect. I will sometimes play with the exposure, contrast or colour of a photo, but none of my images is manipulated beyond that.

I take photos of whatever catches my eye, but I have an especial interest in capturing the underlying mood of a scene. I am fascinated by how traces of the past linger in the present and hope that, like a good book, my photos inspire the imagination rather than dictate every little detail.

Thank-you for visiting my page and for any comments you may choose to leave – it is much appreciated! I prefer to reciprocate when people leave comments (rather than saying thank-you over and over again), so be assured that if you take an interest in my work I will likewise have a look at yours. Feel free to bubblemail me with any questions or requests.

My BubbleSite has most of my photos grouped into sets, so you may find it easier to browse there.

I also have a website if you are interested in coverage of an event such as a wedding, party, or funeral or would like to know more about having a portrait session. I am based in the Hobart and Huon/Channel area of Tasmania.
