Fate or Destiny is a collection of photos and stories that aim to inspire people to make conscious choices in life. I launched this photo exhibition together with my photo book at the Hornsby Library in 2014 which then travelled to many venues around NSW. My photography is inspired by my love for the natural environment and my desire to share stories of the extraordinary people I have met while travelling.
This exhibition was created after I completed two personal journeys. The first was a solo journey where I travelled and volunteered around the world for a year in my quest to rediscover happiness, reinvent myself and also complete my goal of spending quality time on every continent before turning 50. The goal was accomplished with my arrival in Antarctica for Christmas in 2010 after being on the road for much of that year. During this time I volunteered on several projects, one of which was Conservation and Photography in South Africa. This is where I first discovered my love for photography.
The second journey was undertaken with my partner Steven Liaros in 2013, when we spent 6 months in Europe and Sri Lanka, volunteering in intentional communities and eco-villages to better understand what drove people to think and live differently.
