I’m a photographer based in Melbourne, Australia.

I studied in a darkroom, but I shoot digital. I use DSLRs, lenses, a G11 and Photoshop, but when it comes down to it, only the eye is important.

I like to think of my images as single frames from a movie.

I think Henri Cartier Bresson said it most succinctly:

“Photography cannot be forced, it either happens or it doesn’t. You see the image all at once, like a painting, as the elements come together, you either get it or you don’t. To me, it’s the possibility to capture in a fraction of a second, the emotion of a subject, the beauty of form, the lines, the natural geometry.

I don’t have a message. You see. You feel. You respond." – HCB, 2003
