Mallacoota, Victoria.
I started shooting and travelling with any sort of competence from my trusted film Camera on a 1986/87 trip around Australia. This trip opened my eyes to the world around me and a new way of seeing. I have since discovered that values of Simplicity, Balance and Harmony are important components to my compositions. Seascape, Landscape, Streetscape, as well as Portrait genres in Photography continually inspires me and helps me to best express my own personal style from the many years of travelling around the Globe.
I have been very fortunate and grateful that my work to date has been exhibited in Barcelona SPAIN, Glasgow SCOTLAND, Milan and Trieste ITALY, Toronto CANADA, Athens GREECE, Berlin GERMANY, Krakow POLAND, Auckland NEW ZEALAND, Essex Junction and Brattleboro VT, Minneapolis MN, Los Angeles CA, Lexington VA USA and also Sydney and Ballarat Australia.
