I am a Melbourne based freelance photographer specialising in commercial, fashion, portraiture, weddings and street.

Im passionate about photography as it allows me to express my life through art. This is especially useful when words cannot describe how I feel or what Im thinking at the time.

Photography also allows me to capture that single moment in which life exists. Within that single moment, everything in life is revealed, especially emotions, even if the photo doesnt have any human element within it. It allows for the potential of emotions to be revealed at a later date. For example, when a photo is viewed at a later date by several people, it will undoubtedly cause each person to have an opinion or emotion about it. In this way, the photo reveals the emotions and possibilities of life within each person viewing it.

In short, the purpose of photography to me is to empower, educate and expand the perceptions we have about society and our world around us.

My work has been published in publications such as Mink Magazine, Partysan, Australian Mountain Bike and ®evolution.

Other recent works have been used for bands such as Stealing O'Neal and Ambassador 77 for their EPs.

More details about me is available from my website.

Thanks and looking forward to meeting more people and inspire others with my photography.
