Popping on here to share a little bit more about my background and evolution as a storyteller and some exciting news that I received recently. My work has changed so much since I began this work 15 or so years ago--but my love for photography, for storytelling, our planet and humanity has only grown over that time.
I'm excited for what's next as we approach 2026 and I'm stepping into it with renewed clarity and conviction. After six years and five different visas, two years of waiting on the review of my talent visa, as of one month ago, my Global Talent Visa has been confirmed and I am now an Australian Permanent Resident. I truly feel like I have a new lease on life here...and I'm ready to get to work!
I am available for photography, writing, film directing and impact-focused storytelling projects across Australia (and world-wide). I am open to freelance, contract and in-house positions. Whether I'm shooting a commercial advertising project or developing an environmentally focused documentary project, all of my work looks to uplift the heart and reconnect us to the natural world and one another. I deeply believe in the power of storytelling to shift hearts and minds and galvanise change.
Thanks for being a part of my journey and thank-you to the many people who supported my visa application, my photography work and have helped shape, advise and guide my emerging documentary projects.
