Photography, my history?

For as long as I can remember I have owned a camera, my first was a point and shoot film camera, an Olympus given to me by my father. I spent my time taking snap shots whenever something interesting intrigued me or the mood presented. I began in South Africa, capturing everything and anything, but really it was the wildlife that inspired me, the animals caught my eye and I wanted to remember them.

From there I moved into travel photography, capturing the moments and the places as I moved around the globe. in 2012 I find myself in a new country, on a new continent and a new adventure, which has stimulated my love and passion for the lens and for the image. It was here I had the chance to learn about and improve on my photographic skills.

Since those early days I have had photographs printed in the media, on the front page too; I have sold photographs to Bowen City Council for their 50th Birthday Celebratory book, sold photographs of sailing to Abu Dhabi Sailing and Yacht Club and private owners; I have had an exhibition in Abu Dhabi and been privately commissioned to take portraits.

In the future, I hope to expand this into more exhibitions and my dream is to be a professional travel photographer. I hunger to meet the people and see the sites of this wonderful world. I hope I can do them justice and tell their stories.
