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 now reside in Brisbane, Australia. My passion for art and photography has been a lifelong pursuit. Completing an Art & design foundation course and pursuing into earning a degree in Art & Design 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, working with a legion of talented people within the British and Hollywood film industry. Documenting my team's projects through photography offered to directors and producers for an insight into our departments work, meant I kept my camera as a constant companion. Outside the industry, my passion for documentary photography persisted. From vibrant streets to captivating portraits, I found joy in capturing genuine and heartfelt moments, particularly those of children in their daily lives.
Continuously exploring fresh avenues for creative expression, my journey has led me to evolve and discover new ideas within portrait photography. Transitioning from environmental, editorial, and fine art portraiture, I became inspired by the concept of "Pop Art Portraits." My deep passion for documentary and portrait work capturing the truth of subjects in natural settings has always driven my practice. After several years working in photographic studio and capturing classic portraiture, including fine art and editorial, I have now delved into a new vibrant fun and exciting project: an ongoing pop art series called "The PopDogs Project", a playful yet thoughtful portraits which began in 2021 and is set to launch in 2025.
