About

Growing up on the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia, I spent the majority of my childhood outside, exploring the bush and coastline around home. My obsessions centred around the ocean and mountains which fuelled many a trip chasing waves or snow. This led to a deep appreciation for the natural world, and a love of spending time immersed in it both at home and abroad.

I'm intrigued by the way weather and light interacts with these wild places, which is why I turn to my camera in hope of capturing the beauty I see in these moments to share with others who may not have the opportunity themselves.
