About

I am based in Melbourne Australia and have practiced the art of photography for over 35 years. I have always been interested in street photography and as a photographer, I want to record real events rather than stage or create an illusion. I want to portray the idiosyncrasies of human behaviour in a gentle and compassionate way by freezing a moment in time. For me it is important that my photographs convey the truth about the real world and secondly to communicate my comment on that truth. Photographers that I admire, and have influenced my work include; Henry Cartier-Bresson, Paul Strand, Robert Frank, Lee Friedlander, Vivian Maier and the Melbourne photographer Rennie Ellis, all of whom perfectly captured the "decisive moment".
