About
Artist | Photographer | Visual Storyteller | Designer | Content Creator
I am an Australian photographer, visual storyteller and creative practitioner whose artistic journey spans more than two decades. Beginning with traditional black and white film photography and darkroom printing during high school, my visual arts practice has continually evolved alongside developments in photography and digital imaging while remaining grounded in the belief that photography is both an art form and a means of preserving culture, history and human connection.
