Your teacher
I’m a passionate photographer and workshop creator, and I love nothing more than seeing people connect with their cameras and with photography. Over the past few years I’ve helped hundreds of photographers achieve those ‘light-bulb’ moments at my beginners photography course. It’s that wonderful feeling when you understand what all those numbers, buttons and dials mean, and how you can now use them to be able to create the images you’ve always wanted. Because once that happens it starts to get really fun. And it’s all backed up with a comprehensive set of notes from the day as well. My journey in photography has taken me all round Australia and overseas. My work has featured in numerous campaigns for many leading Australian brands as well as leading celebrities and athletes like Delta Goodrem, Jessica Mauboy, Ricky Ponting, Hawthorn AFL, Shelley Craft, Ashley Hart, Lleyton Hewitt, The Wallabies, Master Chefs George Calombaris, Olympic basketballer Liz Cambage, Bondi Vet Chris Brown, Olympic Gold medallist Sally Pearson and All Blacks captain Kieran Read. My favourite campaigns are Swisse-Scudera Ferrari campaign shoot in Maranello Italy; Ricky Pointing in Mumbai, India; Dutch Olympic and World Champion Seed-skater Sven Kramer in Amsterdam, Netherlands. That said, my favourite thing in the world is to be in a city I’ve never been to, with just my camera in my hand. I know you know that feeling too and I look forward to seeing you at one of my workshops soon.
