Info
Based in Melbourne, Australia, I work professionally as an independent creative both as a photographer and composer/producer.
While on the surface the two disciplines may seem worlds apart, for me, they come from very much the same place.
Eliciting an emotional response through the sharing of an idea, or telling of a story, is how I really define my work, and whether that’s brought about through the use of a camera, an instrument or a mixing desk, really feels secondary.
My photography and music have been widely awarded, both locally and internationally, and my clients range from the most well known brands to smaller businesses and individuals.
The opportunity for collaboration is something I truly value about my work, so too the variety of commissions that help keep the axe sharp and fuel the fire in the belly.
