About Me Page

I’m a Sydney professional photographer, born and raised in beautiful Bowral in the Southern Highlands. I am very passionate about photographing the built environment, architectural design, commercial, educational and industrial spaces. I studied both visual art and science at University and these very polar ends of education planted the seed for my love of photographing architecture. Whilst I know that image making is a creative process I find myself also reaching for the deeper nature in a design, an understanding of intention. This background fuels my curiosity and excitement for great design. I am always excited to meet new clients and jump into their designs to showcase to the public.

My professional photography qualifications include:

  • Bachelor of Visual Arts/Science at the University of Wollongong
  • Masters in Art Conservation at the University of Melbourne
  • Architectural Interiors photography course with the Australian Centre for Photography (ACP)

I have an eye for detail, in fact Koichi Takada himself told me he loves my eye, which was very flattering. With architectural photography you need to tell a story, not just about the structural elements of the building but also how people intend to use the space to enrich their lives. Architects in Sydney are pushing many boundaries and I feel privileged to have documented their designs and look forward to photographing future projects.

My experience in the visual arts sector has obviously had a strong impact on how I approach my photography. I was exposed to art and artists on a daily basis at Uni and learnt the process of creation. My style can definitely be attributed to the hundreds of hours mixing paints on a palette along with the countless hours in the photography dark rooms under the watchful eye of renowned Australian photographer Jacky Redgate. My youth spent in the dark room (as I am now 43 years old) informs the intuitive nature of my image making to this day.

Architects and designers spent countless hours on their projects considering everything from the weather to how light will travel in a space throughout the day. Spending time getting to know these intentions helps to shape truly great images.
