I was born in Sydney, Australia in 1974, moved to Melbourne at a young age where I grew up.
I have been interested in photography since I was a young kid, but spending 18 years in the Advertising and Graphic Design world after leaving school fueled my passion for photography. Being constantly surrounded by amazing imagery and being exposed to the professional side of image making was probably my initial inspiration. I also spent a few of those years as a professional retoucher, manipulating imagery for various award winning agencies including Condé Nast retouching for Vogue, Brides & Traveller magazines.
Moved to London in 2000. Continued working in Advertising and Graphic Design and of course taking photos, but being self taught I decided after a few years that I would go back to University and do some further study in Photography at the University of the Arts London, LCC. My work history certainly gave me a fabulous grounding for my photography.
Since then, I have predominantly been involved with fashion, beauty and portraiture. However, photography opportunities can come from odd sources sometimes and I have also been involved in all sorts of projects from still life and advertising to live music and architecture.
