Born in Melbourne, Australia, I have spent many years photographing wildlife in their natural habitat, focusing on endangered species to preserve images of them for future generations. I also aim to help people connect with nature and encourage the protection of all species.

My passion for photographing wildlife has led me to some of the most incredible territories and extraordinarily remote places on earth – from tracking mountain gorillas in Uganda, to photographing snow leopards in the Himalayas. It has been a remarkable honor to witness so many wild animals along with capturing breathtaking landscapes and wonderful people within their communities. Photography is about patience and I respectfully take my time to emotionally connect with my subject, capturing a moment my audience can embrace.

My other passion is sharing my adventure stories with children. So I have started a series of adventure books to inspire children to embrace mother nature, her animals, plants, people and to encourage children to follow their dreams.
