I live in Perth, Western Australia. Life has taken me to all sorts of amazing places making photos, from cycling criterium circuits in Red Hook, Brooklyn, to the end of my street shooting with friends on the beach. Often, life simply as it is.
I graduated from Curtin University with a Bachelor of Design with a photography major in 2008 and I believe in a clean, direct approach heavily informed by graphic design training but using photography as the medium. I’ve worked in a number of different industries over the last decade, however I specialise in commercial music portraiture for press and record artwork photography and design. I’m here to help with creative art direction to gel releases into a consistent and effective marketing package across all visuals.
I’m available to chat about how bring your ideas to life, to make you look and feel great in press photos, or to create something from scratch for you that will fit your record wonderfully and honour the music you’ve put so much time and effort into.
