I know you’re supposed to write this part in the third person but it’s her day off so you’re stuck with me instead… 

I was born and raised in the western district of Victoria and if you asked I’d say photography has led to all my best adventures. From my high school darkroom, to the pictures collection at the National Library of Australia and all the way right back here. 

I bloody love taking pictures of people doing things. Weddings. Giving birth. Making music. Getting older. Messing about with the fam. Messing about with animals. Fixing things. Making art.

One of my best memories is sitting with my nana going through her photo tin when I was a kid. It was full of pictures of people doing things. Some of the people I knew but many I didn’t. It was such an amazing way to learn about my nana and what was important to her. The photos were really beautiful. No one was posing in the way we do now they were just there. Being themselves. It’s a wonderful thing.

I want to help build the photo tins of the future. If you like the sound of that shoot me a message and we can get this conversation started!
