I started out shooting social pages for magazines and covering parties
back in the day of film cameras… you never really knew what you would
get, so you had to be more selective, know your equipment and how to
adjust its settings to suit any given environment. This helped me a lot
in the early days. I now focus on fashion editorial… I like creating
something that appears for a brief time, you shoot it, capture it for
all time and then it disappears again. I think that is where the
artistry lies in photography. Sunsets and landscapes are repeatable
events… the sun and conditions can come together on a landscape as
little as 24hrs later, try reproducing a fashion editorial with 15
different creative inputs, energies and personalities… it’s virtually
impossible to reproduce that same situation… caught one–off in a
single frame.
Although my early inspiration came via the rich natural locations and
the extraordinary light of Australia, I have further developed my
emotive style in the cutting edge photography markets of Europe and the
United States, where I now regularly cover the New York and LA Fashion
scenes.
Photographers I appreciate include David Sims, Bill Henson, Ryan McGinley, Rankin and Bruce Webber.
