My journey in photography started when I bought my first “point and shoot” camera. A main passion of mine is attending concerts/gigs and my love of photography started there. I started taking this camera to concerts and fell in love with capturing the moods at a concert. From there I bought my first SLR (professional camera) and started taking it on holidays. I joined a local photography club and would attend organised group portrait photoshoots.

Born and raised in Brisbane, and travelling regularly to Coolangatta on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, I fell in love with the beach. When I first learnt photography, I would bring my camera down and capture the movement of the water, the beautiful clear colours of the ocean, reflections in the water on the sand, the stunning sunsets and the way the light danced on and over the waves. It was my parent’s gift of a cheap waterproof camera to play with that I could take into the water with me that opened up a whole new perspective from within and under the water.

I photographed a few small weddings which I loved and wanted to become a wedding photographer. Due to a few ongoing health issues, I decided that I could not commit to wedding photography so instead I started to refine my skills in Portrait photography. In 2016 I started building my business and photographing portrait clients. I started attending networking events around Brisbane and found there was a need for Personal Branding and Headshots. So I evolved my business to include this. Most of my clients came in for Personal Branding photos. It was fun working with them to create their session for what their individual requirements were for their business needs. In came COVID in 2020 which halted my business. As my studio is in my home, I didn’t feel comfortable having clients in my home with the risk of them having Covid-19 so pretty much all photoshoots stopped.

I spent five doing portrait and personal branding photography as a side business to my demanding day job (including downtimes due to Covid-19 closures). Due to this, I was at a point where I was considering giving up my photography dream. That was until I walked into a couple of fine art landscape galleries in Kuranda in Cairns, QLD and then a few in Byron Bay in NSW 12 months later that inspired me to focus on building a gallery of landscape images. My passion is, and always was, around nature and wildlife. I have so many images from holidays and just generally exploring that just sit printed in my cupboard or digitally in my computer that the world has never seen. I started to look into my collection and set up an area on my website to sell fine art prints. For now my work is only available online but one day I would love to have my own gallery with my own images. I have tested a multitude of labs, papers, and mediums before deciding to utilize the print products I do. My prints are all created using gallery quality presentation mediums in a choice of sizes and formats.

I recently purchased a DJI Mini 2 drone which I love as much as any of my other cameras. So now I can capture images on land, in the sea and in the air! It interesting to explore other angles and views than just standing on the ground can produce. I love to learn new techniques and enhance old skills including post processing and editing skills in Photoshop and I also have a keen interest in video.

My goal is to create images that reflect what I see and I can help others see how awesome the natural world is too, and maybe I can inspire them to visit some of these places. For places like the Great Barrier Reef, I hope to help raise awareness of Australia’s amazing natural resources and the need to protect them.

My nature and landscape photography will bring vibrant colour and energy or calm relaxing moods into any home or office and may even let you reminisce about a time you visited the same or a similar location, time of day, reason or season. Whether you are looking for Brisbane Landscape Photos, Gold Coast Beach photography, spring, summer, winter or autumn pictures, fine art prints to match specific colours, rainforests, mountains, lakes, wildlife or unique imagery from around the world, you will love the final print.
