I'm interested in creating images with a narrative that you can feel. Building emotion into my images makes the process very intuitive and extremely slow.
The formal qualities of my work reflect the conceptual indulgence provided by art school, the polish I learnt assisting fashion photographers and the many hours I spend making pictures alone in the studio.
In past years I have collaborated on projects with Future Classic Music, Rosemount Australian Fashion Week and Oxfam/Cirque de Soleil.
