I've finished a degree in both photomedia and film theory from the University of New South Wales and have been working as a freelance photographer for over 6 years. I am fascinated by how people react to my presence as a photographer. Particularly how they change themselves to appear in a certain way in front of the lens. My current commerical work includes portraiture, corporate, fashion, bands and event photography as well as my own artistic practice.
My Mum Stine and I have a pregnancy and baby photography studio Marmalade.
