I am a lawyer by profession.  I have been practising law for the past 19 years.  I work in the area of transport accident law and I represent people who have been seriously injured as a result of their involvement in transport accidents.  Many of my clients will never work again and face a lifetime of pain, restriction and limitation.  

I am honoured and privileged to be able to help people at, what is often, the darkest time of their lives.  To be able to offer assistance to my clients and their families is incredibly rewarding, but the process itself can be very hard to bear witness to.   I do love my work but it is important to have an outlet to balance out the tragedy I so often see.  For me, photography provides that outlet.  

Also, performing my professional work has highlighted for me the fragility of life.  It is true that we all hang by a thin thread.  I often see people who, in the prime of their lives, are suddenly and without warning struck down and for whom life will never be the same again.  For this reason, more than ever, I have come to appreciate the importance of making the most of every opportunity.  To not put things off for who knows what tomorrow may bring.  This has been one of the main reasons why I have increasingly taken the opportunity to travel; to explore new places, embark on adventures and discover new and exciting people and cultures.  To experience life and this world to the fullest.  And in this process of exploration and discovery I love to document what I see and there is no better way to do that than with a camera in hand.

More than just documenting my experiences, I enjoy embarking on the process of storytelling through images.  Every destination has a story to tell.  Every story is unique and often complex.  Photography is an extraordinary medium for story telling because it is well known that a picture is worth a thousand words.  “A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words”  - Ansell Adams 

I have always had an appreciation of beautiful things.  Beauty is present in so many forms in this world and a challenge for me, with my photography, is to capture that beauty in all its forms.  

Combining subject, light and context in a single unique, visually appealing and emotion inducing image is a challenge.  If done successfully it is a talent.  I enjoy embarking on the challenge and hope to have the talent to do it successfully.  

My work as a lawyer can be creative, but I am nonetheless confined by the facts and the law.  Photography allows me to be creative without confines.  Travel photography takes me outside the confines of my everyday life and gives me exposure to an array of unfamiliar and remarkable life experiences; spectacular landscapes, exotic flora and fauna, diverse cultures, intriguing people, architectural brilliance, culinary delights and so much more.  Photography is the beauty of life captured.

My passion for photography and the art of capturing special moments in time, has seen me in the past five years travel to more than 45 countries across all seven continents building my portfolio of images.  My passion for travel photography has taken me to some of the most wild and remote regions of the world including Antarctica, South Georgia and the Arctic, Patagonia, remote Russia, South America, Africa and the list goes on. As a travel photographer my range of subject matter is broad and varied but unquestionably my favourite genres are landscapes and wildlife. 

I have been fortunate to have increasingly received recognition for my photography in the past couple of years.  Most notably I have been a runner up in the Canon Light Awards, a shortlisted finalist for the World Nomads Travel Photography Scholarship 2017, a finalist in the Landscape Category of the Australia Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year 2017 (ANZANG), a shortlisted finalist for nine of my images across three categories (Wildlife Insight, Spirit of Travel and View from Above) in the Outdoor Photographer of the Year 2017 (UK), in the top five finalists in the travel category of the Capture Magazine Australia's Top Emerging Photographer 2018 and have two of my images being considered for inclusion in the African Geographic Annual Yearbook 2018 as part of the African Geographic Photographer of the Year.
