My Ethos

I'm a fine art photographer based in Brisbane, and for me, it's never just about capturing scenes; it's about unearthing the city's unseen soul. Through stark black and white urban photography, I transform familiar streets into profound, untold narratives that echo silent, often overlooked struggles.

My artistic vision is uniquely calibrated by life itself. Forged by my own raw experience of homelessness in my late teens and sharpened by a decade as a mental health nurse, I possess a profound understanding of the human spirit's vulnerability and fierce resilience within the urban landscape. This deep empathy doesn't just focus; it breathes through my work, revealing the daily realities and silent mental health battles faced by those often overlooked.

At the core of my artistic philosophy lies a profound commitment to mindfulness, a state of being utterly present that transcends mere sight. This isn't just observation; it's an intuitive fusion where I connect with the scene, becoming one with the perspective. This heightened awareness allows me to strip away the ordinary, to pierce through the mundane, capturing the raw, unspoken emotions and subtle nuances that define the complex human condition.

My artistic approach harnesses the timeless power of monochrome to strip away all superficiality. I don't just remove color; I rip away distraction to expose the raw, visceral emotions embedded in both stark architecture and the quiet dignity of human forms, presented through compelling compositions. This intense vision is matched by an unwavering dedication to excellence: each printed photograph is a museum-quality piece, produced to the highest standards, utilizing low-reflective glass to meet the discerning expectations of art collectors and galleries.

Through my distinctive black and white imagery, I don't just create fine art; I forge a vital conversation. My photographs offer a rare, unfiltered window into lives often unseen, fostering crucial awareness of mental health within Brisbane’s monochrome metropolis and far beyond.
