As a child, I always loved
looking at and playing with my Grandad’s cameras. When I began a tertiary
course for a Media Studies degree back in 1987, I took on a Major in
Photography, but left the studies early to manage my family’s business
instead. However, I have always loved capturing great images from my
life, feeling there is something special about creating a keepsake of
what my eyes once saw, as a reminder of what I experienced.
These days, I still love
photography and am more serious about it than ever before. Over the
years I’ve distilled my passion to just two focus points:
Rock ‘n’ Roll Music Photographer
Let there be light, sound,
drums, 'n guitar – Let there be rock! Over the years I have enjoyed
shooting a vast array of rock music photography: everything from
international
rock concerts in stadiums and arenas, down to local gigs in corner pubs, to candid
backstage and travel moments touring across Australia and Japan with
rock bands.
If you’re looking for a
freelance rock photographer based in Melbourne for an upcoming live
rock concert, gig or festival, or a band promotional shoot on location
for album artwork etc., simply
contact me to discuss details of your assignment.
New Portfolio and galleries coming soon.
Graveyard and Cemetery Photography
Away from loud rock music
venues, I feel the most peaceful location to shoot is the graveyard.
Sometimes dark and haunting, at others bright and colourful, it is a
place to capture and create many beautiful moods. The sky becomes an
ever-changing backdrop to shoot brilliantly weathered symbols of people’s
lives that once were.
As I wander through old
cemeteries wherever I am in the world, it is always a reminder of my
own mortality, which I use to inspire me to make the absolute most of
my time now, before life expires. It’s also a bit of good outdoor exercise,
walking around in the fresh air discovering and admiring the most elaborate
and artistic cemetery monuments from all angles. Respect.
New Gallery coming soon.
