Whilst I do not work as a photographer or journalist anymore, it continues to be one of my greatest passions & I have the upmost respect for those who risk their lives everyday around the world to document the truth.

Photography, story-telling & documenting life through the lens has always been a passion of mine. I studied photography, film making & journalism both in Melbourne & later in London.

Whilst the majority of my career has been in business (strategy, innovation & design) I lived in East Africa as a foreign correspondent and conflict photographer between 2008 - 2009. I also trained journalists with Kenya's national newspaper, The Daily Nation.

I worked with W I R Media, a media outlet covering stories in various conflict zones around the world and I was published in Al Jazeera, US Aid, The Daily Nation in Kenya and various local publications throughout East Africa.

Sadly and for reference, the majority of my work has been lost in transit - mould, seized, lost, digitally corrupted etc... I know I know. Forgive me for the low res images shown here but its all I have to show. I can however chat for days about these life changing moments.
