Back in August I was commissioned by the Weekend Australian Magazine to shoot a garden editorial for their “Cutting Edge” feature. The garden was a gorgeous scene of tropical green winding it’s way around a Port Douglas abode. With the house being built on a tricky slope and with large areas of bare earth under …

National Broadband Network
I recently had the chance to capture some of the beauty of day-to-day life in the Cairns region for a client on behalf of the National Broadband Network (NBN). The brief was to show off its landscapes, its people and its community, for a social media campaign that would encourage more Australians to make an …
Cardwell Foreshore
When Cyclone Yasi unleashed on the coastal town of Cardwell in February 2011, trees were ripped up, houses were destroyed and the town’s foreshore – a popular stop for travellers between Cairns and Townsville – was swallowed up by the accompanying storm surge.

Truth is, flying over the Great Barrier Reef in the Whitsundays, you’d miss it if wasn’t pointed out to you amongst the many coral formations. Small it may be, but magical none-the-less. …
Fraser Island
Ever since my first to Fraser Island several years ago, I’ve wanted to get back with my own 4WD and explore and photography the island at my own pace. Just before Easter I was able to make it down south to spend almost a week creating some landscape images of one of Queensland’s greatest National …
