The photographic work that I have been involved in encompass a wide range of subjects and individual directions, from social documentation, the performing arts, colour for colours sake, fine art black and white, to installation work using the photograph as a the medium.
I am currently working on a major photographic project on a disused industrial railway site and completing a double degree in Cultural Heritage and History at Curtin University, Western Australia.
