My first experience of photography was as a documentary photographer, recording family life with my four siblings and two dogs. Back then I was 9 and shot with a little Kodak Instamatic film camera. Several years later, with much inspiration from some truly amazing photographers and lots of encouragement from friends, photography has become a passion. I can shamelessly admit to seeing life through a lens at every opportunity.

Documentary photography remains my favourite genre. I have recently completed a project shooting cafés and I am now trying to capture the beauty of Centennial Parklands in Sydney in a series of photos.
