I’m not a professional photographer; I’m a failed academic who now works as a high school teacher but in every spare, waking moment I have, I am making photographs or thinking about them. In my sleep, I’m dreaming them.

My images have been published in The Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian, Capture Magazine, Photo Review and featured on Lens Culture, as well as being exhibited in London, Miami, San Fransico, Brussels and Sydney.
