"There are many defining moments in my career as a photographer and director. The most prominent: an inspired Christmas gift, a Hanimex Box Brownie at the age of seven; a gifted art teacher in high school who taught me to experiment and explore beyond what the textbooks taught, and that ‘mistakes’ can take you to somewhere way beyond imagining; a tertiary education in photography that taught me the rules and then insisted I break them; countless shoots where I learned to trust my intuition whilst being supported by my training. These countless projects now are the backbone of my creative and professional experience.
I’m an international award-winning photographer and director specialising in interiors, food and lifestyle, and brands focused to the female consumer. With 20+ years experience in Australian and now based in Europe, my work spans a wide range of advertising campaigns, editorial, branded motion content, food films and TVC. My aesthetic is beautiful light, emotive, and unashamedly feminine.
On set I work closely with clients: collaboration, a positive attitude, and a shared enthusiasm for evocative visuals are the most effective way to create beautiful, authentic stories worth sharing with the world."

Title: Vida Breakthrough
Location: West Gate Tunnel Site - Melbourne, Australia. "I was originally positioned at the front of the pack to get the shot of the actual breakthrough which was spectacular. Not being satisfied that it gave a sense of scale - considering Vida’s almost 16m width, I walked back 150m and used my 200 lens to try and compress the image which I think has given an extremely effective result.
This is the largest ever tunnel boring machine breakthrough in the Southern Hemisphere."

"An inspired Christmas gift when I was seven years old was my introduction to photography. My mum teaching me the wonder of light, composition and how to capture ‘the defining moment’ as I learned the nuances of my new Hanimex camera.
A passion for art photography ensued, ultimately leading to years of formal study, followed by work initially in editorial and then advertising photography. From supermarket chains, countless food brands and hair care products to spirits, wines, herbal teas, coffee, and beer; my clients have ranged from multinational conglomerates to start-ups looking to establish a unique branding style.
Recent years have seen my love of the still image flow into my love of the moving image, with the focus being to always weave a visual story. My capacity to shoot both photography and film streamlines production and maintains style consistency across various media. On set I work closely with clients: collaboration, a positive attitude, and a shared enthusiasm for evocative visuals is the most effective way to create beautiful, authentic stories worth sharing with the world."
