A bit about me...... 

In the world of photography, my heart beats with overwhelming passion and true excitement when it comes to documenting life around me and capturing portraits of people.
Photography to me, is more than just a profession; it's a form of art that allows me to tell captivating visual stories. Whether I'm documenting the lives of individuals, families or street life.  I strive to convey unique stories through aesthetically pleasing and evocative photographs.
 
I was born in London and emigrated to Australia with my family in 2016.
My passion for art and photography has been a lifelong pursuit.  Earning a degree in Art & Design in the UK in 1998,   I was very fortunate to soon after embark on a career in the movie industry, specialising in creating special effects in various forms.This diverse role involved everything from creating wind, rain and prosthetics to orchestrating explosive scenes in war films and  contributing to the creations of models and  animatronics.  

It was a wide-ranging creative field within the British and Hollywood movie industry.
 On a few of the films, I had the pleasure to document my team's special effects projects through video and photography, providing directors and producers a glimpse of what to expect during filming. This meant I always had my camera by my side.  
Documentary Photography has always been a huge passion of mine and I felt it came naturally to me to have do so.
Over the years,  I continued capturing life around me away from the industry-  from vibrant streets to portraits of intriguing people and found documenting  candid moments of children something truly fascinating to me   in  just their everyday lives.
 
Whether capturing story telling  photographs of children or portraits of people. I began to play around with exciting new projects.
Continually uncovering new and exciting avenues for creative expression.
My journey led me to new ideas within my Portraits.  
Evolving from environmental,  editorial and fine art Portraiture. I came to love the idea of "Pop Art Portraits"  
In this world of Pop Art Photography,' I experimented in creating colour pop portraits which began with me taking photos of my children and named these portraits   'PopKidz'
However along this journey, I stumbled upon an idea in my messy studio and prop box and  my Pop portraits evolved into 'PopDogs,'
 
The project, 'PopDogs,' Started with my dog Marlo.

This project has been in the making for 3 years and I'm  so thrilled to be  finally share this exciting venture, which all began with a  joyful accident born out of playing with my pup. 
 
The Marlo Merle project  will be shared both in the physical world in Limited prints and  the Web 3 world as  NFT's .
 
 *Project PopDogz - "The Marlo Merle" collection is launching  soon.

A unique collection of NFT's and limited edition prints for Passionate  Art collectors.
