I use photography to create visual poems that explore philosophical realms. More than just a pretty picture, my artwork is mindfully conceptualized to be both beautiful and meaningful - something you can spend time with. As well as individual images, I create series' of work that allow a deep exploration of the themes that drive my artistic practice. I often spend months or even years putting together a final series.

I share my art to make the real world more colourful, to connect with others, to stimulate discussion and to create a space for peaceful contemplation.

At the age of eighteen I fell in love with the traditional darkroom and since then I have completed both a Diploma and a Bachelor of Photography majoring in photographic art practice. I worked for five years at one of Australia’s top photography studios before ‘getting lost on my way home’ while traveling in Europe and ended up in Berlin. I now live semi-nomadically between Australia and Berlin working on personal and commissioned photography projects and writing in my spare time.
