I grew up in Hobart (Tasmania), taking advantage of all of what the “Natural State” has to offer. On finishing High School I deferred my Agricultural Science Degree at Tas Uni to accept a place in the bachelor of Photography Programme at Griffith University’s, Queensland College of Art. During the three years of the Bachelor of Photography I developed a well-rounded education in all areas of Photography. My passions were strengthened in the area of Photojournalism and Social Documentary.

It was my work with The Australian Photojournalist Magazine, which wetted my appetite for the world of publication and web design. My interest in the combining of photography and design and my love of the city of Sydney has led me to the University of Technology, Sydney’s Graduate Diploma in Design.

I am a firm believer in the power of images as a communication tool. The picture can tell 1000 words, or even more! I have a passion for visual communication and see it as a very powerful tool. I see myself as a Storyteller with a social conscience. I believe there is just as much merit in telling the everyday, ordinary story than the big world new stories. If I can make people think and take notice of someone or something ordinary, in their own community then I am satisfied as a storyteller. With more thought and understanding, perhaps the world can be a more “well adjusted” place?
