Summary:

I am a photographer based in Brunswick, Melbourne. Genres include: Fashion, Portrait, Fine Art Documentation, Products, Events, and the occasional Wedding.

I like clean superb lighting, no gimmicks, accurate colour, great contrast control, printing, professional teams, realistic clients, and being paid on time :-)

Background:

I inherited my first camera system, a Leica M2 with 3 lenses from my father's uncle George when I was 20 (yeah, the 1980s). I had completed a degree in Spanish and Art History, but photography was a calling.

Cut to Auckland in1989, I got my first job in the business as assistant to German photographer Rudolf Erb. He shot food, advertising, and fashion, most of it on 4x5 inch film with a Sinar and Broncolor system. I shot fashion and editorial. In 1997, I did one year full time study at Unitec, Auckland, and completed a Certificate In Professional Photography.

In 1999, I moved to Sydney, working there, and in Melbourne. I was trained in digitisation while working as a Senior Photographer at the State Library Of NSW from 2004-2008.

From 2016-2017 , I worked as a photographer in photography at the Art Gallery Of NSW, Sydney.

I have held several exhibitions of my photography in Sydney and Melbourne. The most recent was Arcadia, July 2017, at Collab Gallery in Sydney.

Gear

Because people think that the gear makes the photo…but, in any case, I like to use good tools. These days I am using Profoto, Fuji X, and I have Canon Eos digital too. I am more than happy to go rent a photo studio, and some equipment from them, as the need arises.
