“To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
Elliot Erwitt

About the photographer

I'm a full-time student and part-time photographer living in Sydney, partaking in its natural wonders and man-made splendours. I enjoy macro, portrait and still life photography, often taking advantage of natural light and harnessing "the decisive moment" (as pioneered by Henri Cartier-Bresson).

I started taking pictures as a serious hobby about five years ago, with much encouragement from my father who taught me everything about exposure; and my cousin, who patiently helped to develop my skill in composition and creative control.

My photos are not classified as "fine art", but they are certainly art in everyday form, from the abstract to literal. They're documents of study in which I hope to convey a connection from viewer to subject and to show a different perspective.

I'm available for commissioned projects in product and portrait photography, contact me for more details.
