Bio

I’m a former native of Canada who settled in Australia decades ago to pursue a life in photography and warmth.

Shooting a wide variety of disciplines has led to an amazing career involved with countless great campaigns and art projects. Personal highlights include being selected 9 times to Lurzer’s Archive Top 200 Advertising Photographers Worldwide, and being a National Portrait Prize Finalist 7 times.

Considering I’m terrified of big sharks, I often find myself relating to their restless need to stay in constant, forward motion.
