After a degree and 8 years behind the lens, I've never wanted to be just one kind of photographer — because I've never met just one kind of person.
When I step briefly into people’s lives and record them at their best I know how incredibly lucky I am to hold this profession.
People and their work are at the center of my photography.
That’s 8 years of …
capturing
the showstoppers,
and the speeches to
the room,
the quiet
in-betweens,
documenting
artists at work,
and admiring
architecture abroad
to inspire
new angles
at home.
8 amazing years
of detail driven photography
for every occasion.
Detail driven photography
For every occasion
My business is people.
Banks, universities, wedding couples, the media, the arts — the common thread that informs my work is my genuine interest in the person in front of my camera.
Their speeches, their love, their art, their buildings. It’s a great joy to find the threads of human connection.
I never wanted to pigeon-hole myself into a niche
so over the years I’ve found myself photographing
My business is people.

-
Yes, a Bachelor in Photography with a major in Creative Advertising from the Queensland College of Art, Griffith University.
-
Most events can be fully turned around in a 72 hour period, though more hours on-site require more post-production hours.
Please allow extra time for multi-day events or weddings.Turnaround times will always be communicated to you.
-
Absolutely - a selection of highlight images can be edited and sent to you the very same day (or the following morning for evening events) at no additional cost.
This is a fantastic way to quickly get the best images of the day into the hands of your guests or clients, into social media, or into your direct marketing material.
-
There is no quantity cap on the amount of edited images I deliver - my philosophy is that if it looks great, it gets delivered.
Typically this translates to between 60-100 edited images per hour of photography depending on the amount of guests and overall activity level. For example, photographing will be kept to a minimum or redirected away from guests during a dinner service — no one over the years has managed to look good in the middle of chewing their food.
-
Images are delivered via a PIN or password-secured private image gallery. The link will be emailed or texted to you. Photos can then be downloaded individually or as an album, with options to choose between downloading full-resolution images or smaller web-friendly sizes.

I am centrally located in Fortitude Valley making jobs in the CBD a breeze, but I have traveled to events in Toowoomba, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, and out past Boonah.
Drop me a line and we can talk travel arrangements.

Yes, I am insured through Allianz.

Your event and my obligations to capture it well are serious business, but that doesn’t mean you have to deal with a grouch.
I’m aware that in contracting me, others may view my conduct as extension of you and your business, so while always retaining professionalism will approach people with a friendly and easy-going manner.
It also partly depends on the amount of intractability you want me to have with your guests. Sometimes I am the fly on the wall (when you ask for candids) , and other times the elephant with two cameras (when you’ve asked for eyes-to-the-camera shots). I’ll tailor my approach based on our communication.
As an aside, most people are having a night off while I’m at work but I don’t drink while I’m on the job, but feel free to save me a glass of wine for when I’m finished! -
My dad was a wedding photographer in his youth so I’ve been playing around with his cameras for forever.
But 2026 marks a decade since I photographed my first event as a favour to a friend, and eight years since I registered my ABN to formalise my business activities.
-
As a tool to say, remove a light switch in a room because it’s a distraction in an image of a wedding dress, yes. In terms of image creation or creativity? No, never. Images delivered to you by me will never be mass-edited using AI tools (or by a stranger overseas), or used as a substitute for actual creative work.
-
Repetitive tasks are great for polish - up to a point - but they can also lead to stagnation.
I never regret learning a new visual skill from trying something new. Even in a familiar setting, every photograph is a chance to apply new lessons, and mix it up with all the tried and tested old ones.
And besides, it’s just more fun this way.
