I’m committed to capturing the true essence of the subject – to reveal what others may not have seen.
My core philosophy is that my work should create an emotional connection between the viewer and subject and inspire deeper thinking and conversation.
I find that the creative experimentation within my artistic work inspires my commercial assignments – and the discipline of commercial work informs my artistic endeavours.
I operate from a fully-equipped studio in Daylesford, where I also produce my own archival-quality prints.
