About
My photographic work focuses on the quiet details of urban life — walls, textures, and traces that speak of time and human presence.
After years working as an academic educator and researcher in Australian business schools, I needed a creative reset — to see and experience the world differently.
The camera has long been a way to find stillness — a refuge from the noise and pace of the world. In 2025, I left academia to pursue photography full-time, turning a long-held passion into my daily practice.
As I walk through the world, I pause to make images and share these moments of quiet contemplation. My photographs are an invitation to pause — to see quietly, and to breathe.

Q & A
When I’m travelling to make images, locals sometimes watch me photographing a wall and kindly point me towards the nearest tourist attraction. I always thank them — but it’s the wall I came to see.
-
I walk slowly and look for small details that catch my attention — colours, textures, or marks that suggest something beyond their surface. I rarely plan; I respond to what I notice in the moment.
-
I’m interested in how human presence leaves quiet, unintentional traces on the built environment. Walls record stories of time — through layers of paint, weather, and repair — that speak of habitation, memory, and change.
-
I mostly work with digital cameras — Leica and Hasselblad are my go-to tools.
-
Printing is a technical craft, quite different from photography, so I have my images professionally produced in the UK by carbon-neutral fine art printers using archival pigment inks. Each print is made to the highest gallery standard and comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.

From Academia to Art
For many years, my professional life was shaped by academia — teaching, researching, and writing about entrepreneurship, technology, and education within Australian business schools.
Over time, I found myself needing to experience the world through a different lens. Photography offered that — a way to slow down, to notice, and to reconnect with the quiet poetry of everyday life.
In 2025, I stepped away from academia to pursue photography full-time, retaining a position as Adjunct Senior Industry Fellow at RMIT University School of Management.
