It’s hard not to be excited seeing my images in such a great photography magazine! Many thanks to Photo Review for the interview and for featuring several images in your magazine, including the front cover. I couldn’t be happier.

As always the Australian Institute of Professional Photography’s yearly awards, the APPA’s brought a roller coaster of emotions. Of the four prints I was entering, two I was pretty happy about.

I’m a bit late to the game but i finally bought me a Sony camera. Yep, it’s heralded as the ultimate landscape photography camera, the Sony A7r. You mean the Sony A7rII? Erm no, sorry, not the much hyped Mark II version, but the years old Mark I. There are a number of reasons why…
What’s happened in 2014 It’s the end of 2014 and time to reflect on what I’ve achieved in the last year. It’s been a funny year for me after relocating to Nice, France in January. I’ve been somewhat unsettled learning a new language, and culture. I’ve taken a back seat business-wise, spending a lot of…
I had been saving this image for the AIPP APPA photography awards. Photographers entering these awards try to get the edge and submit images that haven’t been seen anywhere before.

La Roquette sur Var, France taken on a recent visit to my soon to be home. With some trepidation I’m saying au revoir Australia and bonjour France. If you missed that, I’m leaving Australia and moving to Nice, France. From January 2014 I will be starting this new chapter of my life with my then…
Wow, didn’t expect that, three out of four prints submitted winning a Silver Award at this years NSW AIPP Epson Professional Photographer of the Year Awards.

It’s amazing to think what I have achieved over the last year, I didn’t realise the number of great photos (in my opinion) I had taken until I put this video together. Thanks to everyone that has taken an interest in my photography. There are some exciting times coming up so please stick around for…
So the individual results are in and as it is with almost every competition there has been a degree of contention regarding the results. This has been further exacerbated for the Loupe Awards by the introduction of a more open judging process. This year each entrant has been provided with scores from each judge rather…
I’ve only spent one evening in my entire life at a camera club meeting. I never found the desire or need to be part of one. The closest I have got to this sort of community has been with the Focus Flickr group. They are a great bunch of guys, and with almost 500 members…
