About me:

Loved photography my whole life! First started out taking astrophotos with a loan camera from high school (Pentax K1000) with some guidance from my photography teacher. Learnt darkroom techniques at high school and have had it as a hobby ever since.

I then studied photography again at GV TAFE, more darkroom work and bought a bigger telescope.

Got into digital (DSLRs) pretty much as soon as they became a thing - purchasing my first DSLR nearly 20 years ago.

Working in advertising for a publishing company, I got to practice my hobby more for work, taking advertising shots for various customers and even doing to odd job for the local free weekly paper in Bendigo.

I also worked for Sky & Space Magazine as an Events Editor, which was mainly photojournalism.

During my Post-Graduate Studies at University, I worked as a research assistant/photographer on a project at Port Campbell National Park for the CRC for Sustainable Tourism in conjunction with Parks Victoria.

Now living in Tasmania, I have been inspired by Aurora and have recently upgraded all my gear - my wife and I also run a holiday home management company so I have the opportunity to get into paid real estate work.

I am also honing my Landscape skills and love doing time lapse and videography - living in Tasmania, how can you not!!!

AirBnB, Expedia, Bookings.com, Agoda, etc etc all require nice clean shots so owners can promote their properties to the masses - My wife and I have extensive experience setting up OTA listings for many owners throughout Australia.

As a freelance photographer, I am flexible and hardworking - knowing what works and what doesn't work is key here, where I stand out is not only being able to capture the right images, but also being able to advise which OTAs to use, and also the ability to upload, manage and maintain the listings. Something most photographers would not offer. View More...
