I am an image maker, storyteller, content creator and accidental adventurer. I am one of the privileged few whose vocation allows me to venture to remote and spectacular locations around the globe. But the cold hard facts are I am no big wall climber or hardcore alpine mountaineer, nor am I a platinum frequent flyer with a suit in one bag and snowboard in the other. I am in no-mans land, somewhere in between.

I am a professional happy snapper, writer, travel bum, salt water addict and sponsored photographer. I’m a wannabe coffee snob and I overuse the term ‘happy days.’

I was born and bred on a wild coast of the driest continent on the planet, where mountains are of liquid form, moulded by the cold winds of Southern Australian winters colliding with the great ocean swells of the Pacific Ocean. My childhood uniform consisted of wetsuit and board rather than camera and film or ice-axe and crampons.

My parents instilled in me a love of Australia’s vast deserts, then the power of Southern Ocean before I discovered the silence of Australia’s Alpine wilderness. They all ignited an awe of mother nature and her offerings.

Along the way I studied biomedical and forensic photography, I collected a degree … I worked in a hospital… for a month.

The adventurous souls I collided with convinced me to explore the fascinating world of adventure sport and our natural world through image making. I soon concocted projects, assignments & goals, all the while commissions surged from private clients.

Somebody, somewhere noticed my work and brands I revered offered sponsorship. My sponsor family grew. I don’t know if I am deserving of such fortune, but I will ride the wave whilst it will have me.

My photography spans editorial & commercial. I tell stories through imagery for brands and global companies all whilst feeding a passion for fusing photos with the written word through commissioned editorial.

I explore motion picture, I am in awe of the power of motion storytelling.

More than a decade in and I still have too much to learn.

Some label me a commercial photographer, others a documentary photojournalist… I remain unconvinced of either. My world see-saws between commissions both home and abroad while personal projects grow in scale on a notepad. I challenge myself with high-end studio projects before boarding a plane to a frozen Arctic Tundra.

By and large, commissions revolve around environment; A world of winter and summer.

It is a spectacular playground Mother Nature provides, and she is often the true hero.

Capturing energy balanced with the grandeur of some locales does not always come easily… Mother Earth can be harsh. But I have gathered from experts or learned the long way, just how to get the job done.

The side effect of imagery, documentary & exploration is a continual search for excuses to venture to inspiring destinations, even when sometimes it does not make sense. But the upside is I get to explore imagery for a living, tell stories and document remarkable cultures, people and brands . All immersed within a majestic landscape, sometimes natural sometimes man made,

And along the way, and most importantly, “I get to Live!”
