For me the camera is the tool I use to capture a scene, but it’s the creative process I connect with the most. I will often draw on that moment I stood there with the camera, what did I feel – cold, warmth, emotion, colour palette? Basically, reliving that moment in time. Colour, tone and mood are part of my style, creating an image is part of who I am as a photographer. This helps me to process an image. I don’t have set up a plan just an idea, it just seems to come naturally, though if I look back, I always loved colouring, drawing and working with colour palettes when decorating interior spaces.

Along the way of my photography journey I have been fortunate to win Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards in several Australian and International photography competitions.

When I first picked up a camera, I thought of myself as a photographer, now I consider myself an artist who uses the camera as a medium to interpret what I see and feel in my mind.
