Travel photography is a passion of mine. I have travelled to over twenty countries and documented my journey through pictures. I enjoy finding beauty in nature or anything that captures my eye.
I was raised in the Upper Hunter valley in NSW and spent a lot of time at my Uncle's pig farm. I remember holding the piglets when they were born and the deafening sounds from the pig sheds. The beautiful surrounding landscape of the Upper Hunter and the fond memories on the farm of helping calves be born are memories we documented with photographs. I love the nostalgia of a photograph and the beauty of capturing a time.
My passions amongst photography are film, art, music, animals, travel and comedy.
I am a great traveller. I respect the customs of a culture and love to go off the beaten track. I am passionate about photography, especially travel photography. I would love to be mentored by Jason Edwards a truly amazing inspirational photographer. I believe I am a great listener and appreciate constructive criticism.
Capturing light, drives me to take a better shot. I am a bit like an impressionist artist in the way the painter liked to capture light at various times of day to depict the changes. Certain times of day are ideal for the best lighting to take a photograph, but learning to manually manipulate your camera gives you more flexibility.
I believe having a good camera is important for a photographer, but above all else knowing how to capture a subject in a frame well seperates a good photographer from a great photographer.
I would like to be an acclaimed photographer. To make a living from my passion of photography and travel. I do believe in the saying ' a picture is worth a thousand words' and I would like to share my story through photography. I am a creative, kind and enthusiastic person and i am always ready for the next adventure!
