Hi, I'm a fashion, event and portrait photographer based in Sydney, Australia.
I've studied photography at the Sydney Institute of TAFE (Ultimo) and the history and philosophy of art at the Australian National University.
I took up photography in 2002 after a career as a graphic designer -- most notably on Sydney's Sun Herald and Melbourne's Sunday Age.
I've won international recognition for my work:
* 2009 Silver, Fashion Photography, London Photographic Association Awards (UK)
* 2008 Semi-Finalist, Hasselblad Masters Awards (Sweden)
* 2006, '07, '08 online exhibitions on Michelle7 (USA)
My photos have been published in Australia by Cosmopolitan, Cream, POL Oxygen, the Sunday Telegraph, the Sun Herald and YMI.
I've been an accredited photographer at 12 Fashion Weeks in Sydney, Melbourne and Bali.
Fashion design clients include: AnnieWho (Hong Kong), FashionAssasin, Sabatini (New Zealand), Silence Is Golden, Tim O'Connor, Valerie Tolosa and the fashion school at the University of Technology Sydney.
Model agencies that use my work include: Chadwicks, Bliss, Platform and Scene.
