Selected Work.
Editorial.
I find Editorial and Portrait Photography very interesting. There are many variables to keep in mind.
The choice of location, model, mood and lighting all need to be considered. At the end of the day or shoot if you will, it all comes down to me.
I lean on natural lighting as it allows me to capture the mood and feel. The unpredictable weather can lead me down a path not seen before. Especially in Melbourne, the place with all four seasons in one day!
Photoshoots can have many divergent interpretations, ending with a piece you couldn’t have imagined, let alone planned.
Music.
I've been surrounded by music my whole life. Being a musician myself, I've studied Audio Engineering and worked in the industry. The extreme speed and craziness of this lifestyle isn't something I can keep up with.
Capturing moments during a live set is both challenging and exciting. The constant movement, lighting, and mood take patience to capture, all while trying not to get distracted by the music itself.
“I’m very down to earth, just not this earth.”
Lifestyle.
Melbourne is home.
In this city, you can find great coffee, barber shops that will give you the sharpest cut, and hidden corners adorned with incredible graffiti and tattoo artists.
I've had the pleasure of photographing many talents around this beautiful city, capturing their work to promote and share their success and talent with others.
Travel.
Throughout my travels, I have been fortunate to explore various corners of the world, capturing moments that embody the spirit of each place.
Southeast Asia, with its vibrant countries and fascinating locals, never fails to inspire me. The charm and character are palpable, as if the click of my camera could perfectly encapsulate the essence of the moment.
The lines etched on people's faces speak volumes, and no matter where you find yourself, laughter becomes a universal language.
“I prefer to apologise then to ask for permission.”
Europe, my place of origin, holds a special kind of magic. The intertwining threads of history, the crisp air carrying tantalising scents and the enchanting sound of church bells reverberating through the streets create an atmosphere of pure enchantment.
Visiting colossal cities is a humbling experience. Their sheer size never fails to astound me. Endless skylines stretch as far as the eye can see, while down on the ground, the people preserve their culture and simplicity amidst the towering structures.
Food vendors dot every corner, inviting passersby to savour the local flavours. These magnificent metropolises coexist with a humble and vibrant way of life.
Finally, there's my beloved Melbourne, consistently hailed as the most liveable city. Here, the fusion of incredible coffee, thriving art scene and vibrant music creates an unmatched energy.
Each suburb reveals its own intricate details, offering a multitude of characters and a tapestry of lifestyles. Having grown up in this dynamic city, my camera has become an extension of myself, always ready to capture the unpredictable slices of life that unfold before me.
These global experiences have shaped me as a photographer, allowing me to weave stories through my lens and showcase the diverse beauty and humanity that exist across the world.
“The mind, once stretched by a new idea, never returns to its original dimensions.”
Documentary.
Documentary photography is a captivating realm that never fails to intrigue me. The choice of subject, location, ambiance, and lighting all play vital roles in harmonising numerous variables. Natural lighting is my preferred ally, allowing me to capture moods and sensations influenced by the capricious weather—a constant companion, especially in Melbourne.
In a documentary shoot, possibilities abound, leading to unexpected interpretations. Each project unravels like a story, culminating in a final piece that surpasses even my own imagination.
I have had the privilege of documenting the untold stories within this beautiful city. Through my lens, I delve into the confrontational realities of addiction, recycling, environmental issues, and the social challenges that surround us. It is my mission to capture these truths, shedding light on the often-overlooked aspects of our society and sparking conversations that lead to change.
