Ideas, impact, images.

I’ve worked in the media as a photographer and journalist for 30+ years. I love my work. I love my craft. I love my subjects.

I’m an editorial photographer and videographer principally. I love taking pictures of winemakers and food-wine-related subjects but then, taking portraits and creating exhibitions of people, places, houses and products are all on my ‘favourite things to do’ list.

Let's work together!

I shoot video. Indeed, I won an award at the St Kilda Film Festival.

I shoot with a Sony A1 (and a Sony A6700) with standard lenses (85mm f1.4, 50mm f1.4, 35mm f2, 24mm f1.4 and 24-105mm). But I also shoot anamorphic on a Blazar Talon 50mm, the latter of which can be epic.

The above video is just an example of my video shooting style.

If you really must, the award-winning ‘film’ I did is available on Vimeo here.

Black and white portrait of a woman with curly hair, green eyes, and lipstick, looking contemplative with her hand resting on her shoulder, wearing a ring.

Ideas, impact, images.

The first image I ever had published in a newspaper was in 1987. It was a portrait. For the past 30 years I’ve taken pictures of people and places, moments and memories, for media outlets around the world.

Let's work together!

Award-winning work, in an industry that I love.

In 2020 I won the Best Film award in the regional category of the
St Kilda Film Festival as the writer-director-filmmaker. In 2026 I had three images shortlisted in the World Food Photography Awards. I’ve won awards for sports writing, journalism, and as a wine communicator. I’ve worked in the media for over 30 years and in the food-wine space for over 25 years.

Come on. Talk to me.
