Hello! Welcome to my "about me" section! I am a commercial and photographic artist based in Ocean Grove, Victoria, Australia. Photography has long been a passion of mine since being taught the basics by my father is an avid black and white photographer, so I learnt the ropes on film, my 1st camera being a Kodak Hawkeye. After 20 years in Outdoor and Environmental Education I decided that a career change was on the cards. The choice was between my creative outlets of photography or music, and I decided on photography as it was here that I felt more passionate about the things I could achieve. Going back to university at 39 was a challenge and indeed it was there that I found I actually liked school for the 1st time in my life. I have completed a Bachelor of Photography at PSC (Photography Studies College) in Melbourne.
I am a photo junkie really, I love to shoot any subject, However, in particular I love to shoot landscapes, seascapes, portraits and animals, but also love the creative possibilities of Photoshop that allow me to make surreal pictures that tell their own story.
