I’m a commercial photographer, director and cinematographer creating intentional, documentary-inspired imagery grounded in realism.

Drawing from my documentary background, I possess the skill to capture the often-overlooked essence of a moment, a quality that I leverage to create work that not only communicates truths but also forges deeper connections.

I approach my work thoughtfully and practically. My affable and unpretentious nature, coupled with an unwavering dedication to my vocation, instills confidence and brings out the best in the creatives I collaborate with.

I work closely with agencies, productions, and brands to craft imagery that is both strategic and creative. Based in Melbourne, I divide my time between my personal studio, family life, a love of bespoke woodwork, and the occasional nip of single malt.

MY CLIENTS

THE STUDIO

Empty photography studio with lighting equipment, a large softbox, two spotlights on tripods, a potted plant on a wooden stand, windows letting in natural light, and a concrete floor.

This is my personal studio, located in the leafy suburb of Coburg North. It’s a quiet, creative space perfect for small crews, just a 10 minute walk from Tram 19 and Merlynston train station.

The studio space is 52m², with an additional 22m² storage area and an attached restroom. It features a surround sound system and internet access, with a dedicated loading car space for convenience.

Several cafés are nearby for coffee and snacks, and there’s plenty of street parking. The studio is also conveniently close to Coles, Bunnings, Liquorland, Officeworks, Local parks, Pentridge Shopping Centre and Merri-Creek.
