A little about me

I am a news photographer and videographer working for the Riverine Herald in Echuca, regional Victoria.

My love of photography began with travel, documenting my adventures through Europe, South America, the States and South East Asia.
My photography career began when I left a 13 year career in corporate IT to pursue work in documentary and news photography. I worked as a freelance photographer and videographer in the areas of corporate, documentary, food and sport for 3 years before moving to a news photography and videographer role at the Riverine Herald in Echuca, Victoria covering everything from editorial, breaking news, portraits, feature documentary, sport and events.
