"Growing up on acreage in rural New South Wales, I often spent my afternoons after school wandering around the countryside on push bike or foot, capturing the landscape with my Dad’s film tape camera and experimenting with basic video editing programs. Not knowing at the time, this were later to become the foundations for a passion of landscape photography. After completing high school and with a strong desire to immerse myself in the art and music scene, I relocated to Melbourne to pursue a dream of film.

During my studies of a Bachelor of Film & Television at Swinburne University in Melbourne, I became intrigued with the aerial perspective, seizing any opportunity to capture photography from the sky. Prior to university, my intention was to become specialise in video editing and affects, although progressively over the university course I became naturally gravitated towards photography, more specifically, with landscape photography. Currently, I capture aerial photography professionally in and around Melbourne. Photographically I am drawn to vibrant colours, patterns and the Earth's landscape from above."
