WHO AM I?

Thank you for being interested in learning a bit about me!

I'm a 24-year-old photographer from regional Australia who loves the sun, the ocean, and good vibes.

Always happiest when I'm swimming with turtles and whales, or being surrounded by my friends and family.

WHEN DID I START PHOTOGRAPHY

Ever since I was little I have always been around cameras. Growing up my mum and dad would record our lives on an old video recorder and film camera. Their generation were the OG vloggers.

One of my favourite things to do was look through all our photo albums and home videos.

Mum loved her photography and would always be taking photos of the wildlife. She would let me use her camera and would encourage me enter my photos in local competitions.

For my 16th birthday I got my first DSLR. This is when I started getting into portrait photography.

I would organise styled shoots with my friends where we would get creative with what we had around us.

WHAT CAMERA DO I USE?

Before I started studying photography I was converted into a Sony Mirrorless girly. I love how well they can handle low light situations and the colours they can pickup.

DID I STUDY PHOTOGRAPHY?

In 2019 and 2020 I studied photography at the Canberra Institute Of Technology.

We learnt all about using a studio space, film photography and development, food photography and fashion photography.

I loved my first year and met so many people who had the same passion as me.

My second year was tough for me. As it was during covid the first half of the year was all online. I missed being surrounded by my classmates and really struggled with all the assignments. I lost all of my joy and motivation didn’t want to continue thankfully I didn’t give up and finally we went back to face to face learning and I got through the rest of the year.

WHERE AM I BASED?

I am based in Exmouth, Western Australia. In Exmouth we are surrounded by the ocean and the famous Ningaloo Reef.

At the beginning of the year I travel to my hometown (Braidwood NSW) to visit my family, so I am usually available for photo sessions in this region during this time.
