MEET THE
PHOTOGRAPHER
I’m a queer, award-winning photographer from Melbourne, Australia, with a knack for capturing people in their absolute element.
Recently selected in Junebug Weddings' 2024 Best of the Best, my vibrantly editorial yet intimate style doesn’t just stand out; it exists in a class of its own.
With close to two decades refining my craft, I’ve shot it all—from the electric energy of live theatre and festivals to sport, portraiture and commercial photography like BWS' World Pride campaign.
My work has been seen on the streets and in Archer, Hello May, Together Journal, and Frankie.
Landscapes are my achilles heel, so as long as there's people in your project, I'm there...

Whether I’m on set or out in the wild, I know my way around light—shaping it, bending it, making it work its magic. Gimme a product, model, massive campaign or stripped-back portrait and I'll give it my all. Hell, I'll even do e-comm for your Depop or a cool headshot for Bumble.
From sticky-floored pub gigs to the velvet-draped hush of a midnight cabaret, I live for the chaos, the drama, and the unfiltered energy of performance. I don’t just capture what’s happening on stage—I bottle the atmosphere and grit that makes live performance unforgettable.
Look, I won’t beat around the bush. I’m bloody good at this. True colour, actual candid photography, shot on both film and digital. No awkward posing, no overcooked edits, just real moments exactly as they felt. If you want a true documentary approach for your day, hit me up.
