I love to travel. I love taking photos. And I love the moment a stranger becomes a face you never forget.

Photography, for me, has always been about people. Over the past several years, I’ve travelled through remote corners of Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, sitting with locals, listening to their stories, and capturing small, unforgettable moments. I find myself returning to the same villages, drawn back to watch children grow and stories slowly unfold. Since 2016 I have returned over 1000 photographs..

Closer to home, thanks to my son, I’ve discovered a completely different kind of energy. The raw, fleeting world of professional surfing. Since 2024, I’ve been shooting WSL Championship Tour events at Bells Beach and the Gold Coast.

On the surface, they couldn’t be more different. Yet I’m drawn to the same quiet beauty in both. The people who live close to nature, who are grateful for it, and unhurried by it.

People who don’t need much to feel alive.

That’s what I find endlessly beautiful and endlessly worth photographing.
