"Photography for me is to gain access to a passing moment. Attaining an intimacy with my subject and displaying an instance of time that I record for others to gain a glimpse of worlds they might not have the possibility of seeing"

I would describe myself as a hybrid media creative who utilises such mediums as video, painting, graffiti, performance, graphics, and photography to create works that seek to push audience assumptions and boundaries. My works have been shown Internationally and Nationally across many prestigious galleries, festivals, magazines and public events.

Henri Bresson, Mario Testino, David La Chapelle, Terry Richardson, Nan Goldin, Cindy Sherman, Pierre et Gilles and Nick Knight, Andrew Dunbar , Joel Peter Witkin and Steve Diet Goedde are my influences.

As I am a conceptual artist some of my photographs are meant to be confronting and thought provoking. I use myself as a subject to express my emotions, persona's and dreamings.

I like to document my eclectic life and have photos in my stream from the mundane to the extreme. My main style is very raw, edgy and immediate. To achieve this I try to remove as much of the gimmicks from photography as possible.

My photography is me and my camera working together in simplicity with the world around me revealing my inner and outer realities. Currently I am moving into elaborate studio photography and setting up my own business in photography, film, design, art and VJing for clients
