I'm a Sydney, Australia based photographer of Climbing/ Skiing and Cycle Sports.

 

Photography has been a passion for years, I started out shooting Film but these days I am resigned to the workflow/ Expense and experimental opportuntunities that Digital Capture can bring to my work.

 

Despite this I still have a deep love and respect of film and those artist who still create images on this medium. Steve Casimiro, the former editor of POWDER magazine has summed up my thoughts here - www.stevecasimiro.com/intros/24.5.html. Keep an eye out as I may throw some in for good measure over the coming months.

 

I love rich vibrant/strong colours as evidenced by my images with the occasional B&W thrown in for good measure. I love to Pan my subjects, the last thing I want is for them to appear static. I'm into Strobist style shots where the subject provides and love to learn and progress in this field, but nothing beats the rush of great natural light.

 

I shoot what I am involved with and passionate about, that being Climbing, Cycling and Skiing!. Along the way I come accross heaps of really cool Landscapes, which accounts for these shown here.

 

I love to get out early, but it doesn't happen as often as I'd like. As a result I tend to shoot alot of evening light situations and have a reputation for leaving the Crag/Mountain well after the light has gone, much to the frustration of those with me when we are walking out in the dark!.
