"The living model, the naked body of a woman, is the privileged seat of feeling, but also of questioning...  The model must mark you, awaken in you an emotion which you seek in turn to express." - Henri Matisse






Hello to all at MM,

If you wanna be my friend, leave a photo comment. I'll do the same...

Ok...

I'm an Australian photographer living in the San Diego Nth County area...
My main business is within the sports action industry, particularly surfing. I travel extensively and have been lucky enough to shoot in more than 25 countries. My time is valuable, limited and in demand.

I have been shooting models 7 years part-time (sort of?) Just had a 3 year sabbatical.
So far i have been really lucky to work with some very talented and credible models and photographers.
Their professionalism and willingness to help educate others, has been fantastic for the progression of my photography.
I thank them sincerely... Many have become good friends. I wish them all fruitful careers!

Due to this being part-time, i am really interested in building my skill set and portfolio. I freely admit my ambition out-weighs my talent. But i am highly motivated to becoming a better photographer, and developing my creative vision. In exchange, I give models my best to help their portfolio as well...

I understand that to get excellent work there must be a collaboration between two creative people. If you think outside the box; we will create some great work together. 

I pride myself on my professionalism and strive to provide an environment that feels both safe and comfortable for all involved.

This MM portfolio is specifically for my work with models.

Apple just ceased their web services, so i gotta build a new one. Damn it!
It could take awhile... I'm kinda busy… Sorry  (hopefully in 2017/18/19???)
I'm lagging... lol

15+ Years of experience in marketing, shoot directing and selection of photos for advertising, POS, and catalogs within the surf and snow industry...  before picking up a camera.
