**UPDATE – I WON!!** This morning, in the midst of lockdown number 5 in Victoria, I had a little party in my loungeroom as the Federation Business School Commerce Ballarat Business Excellence Awards finalists were announced. It’s a totally honour to be named a finalist in the City of Ballarat Creative Industries awards category along…
This is the second time I’ve photographed Joe Dolce & his playfulness, openness & warmth made both occasions so much fun. The first shoot with Joe & his partner (a renowned artist in her own right) Lin Van Hek was a couple of years ago, when I was photographing couples all over the east coast…
The youth rapping at the start of the film was beside himself to be given the opportunity to record his work. He took it so seriously. He was nervous. He worked, recorded, re-recorded for almost an hour until he was happy with it. This is a boy who generally can’t be engaged for more than…
As a mad keen snowboarder I love sport that involves speed. But as a somewhat lazy person when it comes to fitness, my exercise is more incidental. I ride my bike to get somewhere. But I’ll always ride over walking, because it’s faster. In peak hour, I’d rather ride than drive, because it’s faster. So…
There was a whole lotta leadup to this gig. Shooting the promo pics was great fun and seeing them plastered all over Melbourne in the oddest of places was bloody great too. And while Frankie was about to see if he could pull off something he’s never done before, I was looking forward to seeing…

Two of my most favourite things in the world are photography and music. When I get to combine them, it rocks (no pun intended). A couple of weeks ago I hooked up with Frankie and his fugitives to make them some hot images to let the world know about their upcoming debut performance in Melbourne.…
With floods waters finding their way through properties and over roads, and rivers breaking their banks across Victoria, it’s hard to believe we’ve been having such a water shortage for so long. The skies finally gave us what we’ve all been asking for. We just forgot to ask for it to not to come all…
I just got back from a shoot in Kinglake, where it was so cold after 20mins of shooting I could no longer feel my fingers. A stark contrast to feel so cold when surrounded by trees still blackened by the fire that ripped through over 18 months ago. At one point I huddled around a…
