I enjoy all forms of photography but have a very keen interest in landscape, seascape, astro and time lapse photography. I am a member and previous Vice President of a local large camera club in Melbourne and have participated in their competitions since joining 8 years ago.

I have participated in and received many awards in both domestic and international competitions including 3 gold, 2 silver and a bronze medal at international level in 2020. I have earned an Associate level within the Australian Photographic Society, the governing body for Australian competition, achieving over 100 acceptances and over 5 awards in competition. I was also recently awarded 2 Highly Commended’s at the Australian Photography Magazine’s Photographer of the Year. I am particularly proud of the Landscape Commendation as this is based on a cohesive series of 4 images that create a theme. A month later I also placed in the top 30 of the Wilderness Photographer of the Year competition.  I am currently completing a Diploma of Photography and hope to finish in the next 12 months..

I have experience in writing and delivering training and have been a ground instructor on A320, A330 and B787 aircraft to pilots for 8 years. I was the lead ground instructor on the B787 and wrote a significant amount of the courseware. Therefore training is in my blood and I have the experience and skills to pass concepts and technical skills onto anyone. As the saying goes, those who can do – those who understand teach!
