My dream is to combine my passion for Sports with Travel and deliver a unique flavor to this with a Cultural twist.

The sports that fascinate me are not mainstream pro sports like Tennis and Rugby but sports that have a rich cultural history and a captivating story. Sports that are played away from the modern steel stadiums, sports like the Donkey Cart races in Karachi, or Buzkashi, the national sport of Afghanistan. In capturing the sporting heart of a community, we can show how uniquely human we all are.
I live in Sydney and have spent most of my working life in IT with photography being a distant but constant longing during this time.
In 2007 I started to become more serious about my desire to be a photographer and focused my studying and practice in the field of Sports Photography, I shot mainly Junior sports. These days I still shoot Junior sports and have also ventured into travel photography and have expanded my pro sports photography to include a range of Sports such as Boxing and Rugby.
I would like to take this opportunity as a step in following my passion and dreams, I am hardworking, industrious, and have a fanatical urge to learn and conquer the world of photography.
