Biography
Photographer/Filmmaker born in Melbourne, Australia, 1966, now based on Vashon Island near Seattle, Washington State, USA.
I began my creative career as a poet and then an experimental filmmaker in Melbourne using Super 8 film. In 2001, I moved to LA and directed/produced two feature films (Camjackers and Being Big) and released a collection of experimental films (Utopia One). I now specialize in experimental landscapes and conceptual art photography, while providing photography services in artwork reproduction, macro, product photography, and portraits.
