My Biography

I tell stories.

I believe in the power of images to challenge ones reality and hopefully evoke change. I work to develop stories that comment on underreported environmental, political and social issues. I’ve spent time photographing in Egypt, Gaza, South Africa, Thailand, Cambodia and Uganda while I’m also working on long term projects in India, Nepal and Timor-Leste.

My photos have been published in New Internationalist, Sydney Morning Herald and the Newcastle Herald, while my international NGO clients includes The Asia Foundation, Catholic Mission and Oxfam.

For now i am working in my backyard on stories closer to home as well as establishing a small initiative that seeks to creatively empower people to share their own stories through a mix of medias and i’m loving it.
