A photographic journey of discovery and belief

Mountains to the sea

Its only taken me 5 years to build the skills and knowledge and most importantly belief in me and my capability to have the courage to exhibit my work. Photography has opened up opportunities to explore the world now and in the future. It’s connected me to nature.

This exhibit is short and sweet, and a chance for you to experience my work as I see it. I will be releasing a limited edition of prints for this exhibit which will be available for sale at the gallery.

Look forward to seeing you there please RSVP and to get a glimpse of gallery viewing times.

With moments to spare....

Sitting at home waiting for the storm to pass over, a quick glance and noticed the horizon was showing a pinch of colour, with minutes to spare quickly grabbed my camera I raced down to the lake across the road and snapped this beauty! Felt good, it was a magical scene, looking at the rainbow, I connected with this image straight away.

The rainbow was trying to be complete, still such a beautiful thing to look at, despite it not forming in full. My brother always says, and I believe it to the core, there is no such thing in perfection, indifference is beautiful and magical and we all should embrace it.

Live life to the fullest people as its short and love who you are!

Storms, storms and more storms!

It’s definitely storm season and one of my favourite times of the year. I keep going on about how much I love clouds and to be honest there isn’t a landscape photographer that I know of out there that wouldn’t say no to clouds. They give an image depth and direction and sometimes when we are super lucky lots and lots of colours!

Storms for me are just one of those atmospheric conditions that I love to capture. They create so much drama and when your close you feel the energy, it exhilarating. My bucket list item is to travel to the Northern Territory and or Northern Western Australia to witness the wet season come in.

Walking through waterfalls at night!

Crazy to think carving your way through dense Aussie bush to get to the bottom of falls in the cold is all worth it for a shot! myself and another photographer did just that, we managed to negotiate our way down some slippery falls to get the one-shot!

Why?? well other than probably being what some would call stupid…we were chasing the milky way in a unique composition. I can say it was an amazing experience. I was scared… yes of spiders and the boogie man…hahahaha!

But am pleased with the result. What do you think?

First time out since Covid19 lockdown

Because am a little bit of a clutz! my D750 got damaged on a shoot a couple of months ago at a sunrise shoot (and yes thank goodness I was insured)🤪

Am on a savings journey to get either the D850 or change brands all together???? maybe Sony perhaps - still haven't decided. In the meantime James (big brother) came to the rescue and has lent me his D810 to keep me shooting 😘

This mornings shoot at North Avoca was carefully planned to keep safe (social distancing and all) New camera in hand and overly excited, clearly that was because I was out shooting but I must say sunrise didn't disappoint either.

I love this shot as it has a real calming vibe, subtle skies and smooth seas against the hard coastal rocks...!
