About:
I grew up in a small country town of Wodonga in North East Victoria; l was always outside growing up whether it be tennis, swimming, bike riding or on a family camping holiday and so… began my journey in photography when l left school with my Minolta film camera, back then I was actively photographing Birds. As we all know life gets busy and l let Photography go, in 2015 a clearer understanding; an epiphany you might say brought me back to Photography the photographic journey is very familiar and one which has grown over the years. As a natural light Photographer my focus is that of Birdlife and Landscapes which are native to the local area.
In those COVID years, as a creative outlet during those numerous Lockdowns we had in Victoria l found my-self exploring Photography course online with course completion through the Photography Institute, Sydney in 2021 – 2022, which led me to completing modules in Wildlife Photography and Setting up one’s own Website, which has brought me too here.
My images are from in and around Northeast Victoria.
I also enjoy sharing my work with the wider audience and trust they find them pleasing to the eye.
