my passion for photography took hold at the tender age of fifteen when my father gave me his old nikkormat slr camera.
a large portion of my work centres around self-portraiture, portraiture, urban landscapes, graveyards, and dolls, but i enjoy the challenge of photographing most subjects: from immense historic castles down to the mushrooms that randomly appear in my backyard.
in august 2007 i held my debut solo exhibition, "alternate worlds" at brunswick street gallery in fitzroy, victoria. i also created cover images for vignette press' mini shots during 2007.
between 17 april 2007 and 16 april 2008 i completed a 365 days project - a self-portrait a day for a year.
my work can regularly be seen in local and online group exhibitions and magazines.
