Where to start? From the beginning I guess, I was born in December of 82' here in Melbourne. No I'm not very old, still many years of shooting ahead of me. Photography has only been a fairly recent thing for me, despite it being the only thing I've wanted to do since finishing school. Let this be a lesson to all you budding photographers out there, don't ever let anyone tell you not to get into photography! If you want to do it, then by all means go and do it. I was told not to get into it when I left school, so instead I went and studied multimedia. I regret not doing photography from the start. After 2 years of multimedia, I got sick of it and dumped it. I got sick of sitting in front of a computer all day making stupid buttons for websites. Now not knowing what to do with myself, I turned to that which I always wanted to do, and apart from my day job, I'm shooting as much as I can of whatever I can.

I am currently still studying photography at the International College of Professional Photography (what a mouthful!) in South Melbourne. A great little college with great people. My main passion is landscape photography. There is no better feeling that to get up for sunrise out in the aussie bush with no one else around to bother you, its just you, your camera and the magnificent landscape. It's a kind of meditation I guess, as I'm always happy and relaxed after a good day of shooting. My favourite areas to shoot are the Grampians, Glenmaggie and the Great Ocean Rd. Mainly because they're close and I don't have the time/money to go further! Seriously though, they are wonderful regions of Australia and I love them dearly.

My other favourite thing to shoot is cars. I'm a bit of a car nut I guess, involving myself with the E-Series Owners Club mainly. I'm known through the club for hanging out the side of someone else's car with a camera in my hands, not thinking about how bad the windburn will be later on! I shoot all cars though, and I love my 4WDs as well.

Photo retouching and restoration, portraiture, commercial and cityscape photography, I love it all I guess. But my landscapes will always be #1!
