Photography
I shoot a variety of genres both with my Canon R6 and my drone. My passions range from landscape, nature and portrait to documentary & macro photography. More recently I have focussed on aerial photography and my aerial abstracts are fast becoming what I am known for. I have done event photography, put together a portfolio for exhibitions, documented stories & images for public interest campaigns and dabbled in studio work. My strength lies in integrating photography with creative writing to craft powerful photo essays. I provide images as JPGs and copyright licensing agreements can be negotiated if you need exclusive use to images.
Presentations
I am an inspirational public speaker. I draw on my life experiences of extensive travel both in Australia and around the world to share unusual ways of living, travelling and working that will captivate your audience. I have back-packed through all 7 continents, volunteered in numerous eco-villages in Europe, lived in a motorhome for 5-years, camped extensively in Africa, North America and Australia, guest-lectured at universities, run workshops and presented at many conferences and festivals. Please see my list of presentation but I am also happy to tailor a presentation to your audience. The presentations can be between 1-2 hours with time for interaction and are suitable for camera clubs and small organisations.
Photography Workshops & Retreats
My partner and I often travel in a motorhome. We love basing ourselves at a destination in regional Australia and working with local communities.
Some of the work I have done includes:
- Documenting the shearing at a sheep station in Western NSW while also running a workshop for local photographers.
- Collaborating with a small gallery in Victoria’s Mallee region for a local exhibition and to create new art for sale
- Documenting the stories of a regional group in East Gippsland to showcase their community activities and environmental activism.

Projects
I love combining my passion for photography with my technical background in water engineering, my love for diverse cultural experiences and my desire to transition to a Circular Economy. I enjoy working on projects to create narratives for change that raise awareness or inspire action. The projects have ranged from raising awareness in the Tarkine to reducing food waste in Parramatta, to telling the stories of first generation migrants in the Hornsby Shire.
Creative Writing
I have always loved documenting life through story telling and specialise in using images and words to help highlight the social issues you care about. I blog on Medium and am a writer on the photography platform Live View. I can use my creative writing abilities to document your campaign or story as a blog post, a series of photo-stories or an impactful web page narrative integrating creative writing with photography. I can provide output for marketing and sharing on social media platforms.
