I'm a filmmaker and photographer who is interested in a wide range of artistic styles and themes. I work as media producer so I am often looking for people for work-related projects as well as my own personal projects. While I am primarily a filmmaker, I have a passion for photography as well and am looking for work on varying kinds of projects. I especially want to expand my experience working with models. Shooting trees and buildings is fun for a while but I really prefer working with people.

Please understand that I really only 'friend' people who I have some possibility of working with, by which I mean people from Australia or New Zealand or will be traveling here soon. If you're looking just to keep track of my work, may I suggest showing the 'favourite' button some love.

I'm hoping to meet people I can learn from, explore new ideas and improve my skills as a visual artist.

PS: I`m the first to admit that I`m a plus sized guy but I`m always interested in what its like on the other side of the camera so if anyone wanted a bigger guy I would be open to posing.
