The Story of a Photographer

If I could have been born with a camera in my hand I would have, it's in my genes. I come from a long line of passionate photographers. I always remember the story of my Oma in the 60's leaving a child stuck on the gate, to run inside and grab her camera to capture the moment. I grew up in a house where the bathroom was converted into a light room and on weekends we'd spend our time developing film. I'll never forget the smell of those developing chemicals or the sight of the photos stuck up on the shower screen to dry, or the joy of seeing the photo appear as you pop it in the chemicals.

Prior to Photography I worked in Graphic Design, Web Design and Communications, which helps me approach each project with a clear understanding of how images will be used, whether it’s for print or online. I’ve worked in Marketing and Communications at local councils, independent studios, and TAFE, so I get the full picture of how photos fit into the bigger story.
