So there I was sipping back a nice warm cup of coffee, a flat white with one sugar is generally my weapon of choice, actually did I have sugar in my coffee that day? …Anyway doesn’t matter, the point is all I was doing really was just enjoying my coffee so much so that I couldn’t figure out how to really construct my ‘About Me’ page.

I thought I will start out in the usual fashion and write in third person about the great work I have created and the endless list of achievements and that the fact they had been wanting to be a photographer since a young age. I did contemplate taking that approach but I figured that just would be just very cliche.

I’ll be honest with you, I never really thought about photography or was ever in a position to be anywhere near a camera throughout my teenage years, it wasn’t until I had met my lovely wife and she and I immediately… OK maybe not so immediately but perhaps a few months down the track we decided to take a trip across Europe, more specifically the United Kingdom and we wanted to capture as much of that trip as we possibly could.

It was then at this time I became in possession of a DSLR. I began to develop an obsession of trying to capture images that were meaningful, I had began to take trips on my own accord wondering the streets taking in as many stories I can find and try to capture that into a single photograph, following in the steps of a photo-journalistic approach. Some of this earlier work can be seen on my Redbubble portfolio and check out urban.

By late 2010 and early 2011 I began to develop a keen interest in covering events, trying to document an event through a series of photographs and began to apply for events through event coordinators, I didn’t have much luck for a vast majority of them until when a event called The Great Waiters Race which took place in Sydney at the Overseas Passenger Terminal, a couple photographs which captured the winners of the race were sold and was purchased by the wonderful staff at Pancakes on the Rocks, Darling Harbour.

I was hooked, I decided to push my photography endeavours and began to cover other types of events, I was invited to take part during one weekend in Sydney for the Fashion Weekend at The Royal Hall of Industries and was an excellent opportunity for myself personally, you can view some of that work on my Flickr page. I had been recently contacted by the well reknown film maker Sarah Tracton who had asked about some of my work I had done at an old abandoned tram yard in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney and was used in a music video.

Have a look around, and please sure to get in touch with me, I’d love to hear from you.
