I am first and foremost a people photographer. For the last seven years I’ve been working as an editorial photographer shooting fashion, musicians and celebrities in Australia and abroad.
After graduating with a degree in commercial photography from RMIT University I hopped on a plane to New York and spent two years assisting some of the most respected fashion photographers in the industry. The experience was a young photographer’s dream come true – I learnt so much about my craft, and myself.
I returned home and spent several years shooting editorial work for local magazines and newspapers. One day, after photographing a friend’s wedding it struck me: why not combine my love of people, style and celebration and turn my attention to photographing weddings? So this is now the path I find myself on.
The great thing about shooting a wedding is that I get to experience one of the most memorable events of a couple’s lives together. I love capturing the moments and emotions of what is always a very special day.
I am based in Melbourne, Australia and will travel the world to tell a story.
