With a professional background in architectural design, I bring a unique perspective to my photography.

As a quiet observer who communicates through images, I focus on capturing the spatial and atmospheric essence of each subject. I have an appreciation for spatial qualities, strong compositions, and the interplay between objects, buildings, and their contexts. As a result, my work conveys the essence of a space in a soft, contemplative manner, through reduction and simplicity.

I have been part of award-winning design teams and tutor university students in design thinking and representation. My photographic portfolio includes commissioned projects for architects and designers across Australia and Europe, many of which have received multiple architectural awards.
