Based on the Bellarine Peninsula, I have transitioned my career to professional freelance photographer and undertaken photography assignments here and in Melbourne. As a service to the Bellarine community, I have volunteered my services to the Potato Shed (performing arts centre) where I photograph each show and assist with their marketing.
A strong passion for portrait photography has led to photographic assignments in theatrical productions, music gigs and artist promotions, family portraits and newborn sessions. As a freelance photographer, I also photograph corporate head shots, food and restaurants, events, school photography (Arthur Reed Photos), commissions and real estate.
My current solo exhibition, We are Back is on display at the Potato Shed, Drysdale, Victoria . This exhibition, which opened 4th December 2020, links photographs of 23 performing artists with a statement of how the Covid 19 shutdown of the performing arts industry within Australia affected their careers and their vision for the future. There is also a video from nine of the artists outlining their struggle with the shutdown of their careers during this time.
As part of Midsumma 2019, I held my own solo photography exhibition, Cutting the Chord - The Exhibition which showcased musical performances in and around Melbourne. The exhibition was paired with singer, songwriter and performer Aidan Rolfe and was featured at Kado Warehouse in Cremorne.
