The things you find when looking for other things.

This article was published about me in The Cairns Post about a portrait I took of musicians and brothers Mark Seymour (hunters and Collectors) and Nick Seymour (Crowded House).

I took the portrait way back in 1997 when I was 21 years old.

This portrait is now in The National Portrait Gallery in Canberra.

This is the kind of experience, expertise and skill I bring to the photography sessions I offer.
