Film photography was a huge part of my childhood. I played with rolls of film before I even knew what they were. I would constantly take pictures in my mind before I even knew what photography was.
I would lift my little hands to frame whatever it was in front of me.
I saw beauty everywhere.
My first reliable camera was a Nikon F80. I loved watching the process of a captured moment, become tangible right before my eyes. That was it for me. I HAD to take photos of everything I could.
Music has been the compass of my life. It has given me an amazing platform to immortalise some of the most incredible artists of our time.
My music photography began about 12 years ago. Having been a singer songwriter in a former life, being on the other side of the lens made perfect sense to my soul. I understand the sacred communion between artist, stage, band and audience. I get it.
I began shooting in some of the darkest venues across Sydney and I mean daaaark.
What I didn’t know then, is that it taught me to push my trusty old camera to its absolute limits.
I learned to make sense of the dark, to appreciate the light.
I moved from smaller stages to bigger ones and forged amazing bonds with some of the most beautiful venues across the country.
Photojournalism is another great love.
I adore capturing behind the scenes moments, events, and snapping up opportunities to shoot portraits on the fly. Candid moments are life & capturing the essence of live music and events, is my passion.
Some words of encouragement:
Please keep going, stay true to your art.
What I have learned, is that the more you fall in love with your art and who you are as a person, the less important everything and everyone insignificant becomes.
In a world where technology surges and AI replaces encouraged intelligence, I am content in knowing, that I still take pictures in my mind. I still lift my hands to frame a moment, and I still see beauty and art, everywhere .
