About

I’m a Melbourne-based photographer whose practice explores transience, abstraction and the material traces of lived experience.

Working primarily with reflections, weathered surfaces and urban environments, I use photography to examine how impermanence becomes embedded within material space.

My images observe fleeting states of light, texture and transformation that often pass unnoticed.

My practice is both intuitive and research-led, informed by interests in temporality, perception and the unstable nature of place. I’m currently undertaking a Bachelor of Photography at RMIT University.

Q & A

  • 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.

  • My large-format images are 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.

    Smaller works are printed in my Melbourne studio.

  • Moments of stillness — a chance to notice something quiet and familiar in a new way.

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.
