Hello, thanks for dropping in!
I’m a photographer from Melbourne, Australia passionate about shooting film.
I tentatively began my photographic journey back in early 2010 with a Canon DSLR, but after discovering film a few months later I was hooked. My passion for film grew when I met my first Polaroid Land Camera and discovered the beauty in imperfection – it’s still my favourite photographic medium today.
I shoot a variety of subjects, so you won’t find a specific theme here, but I hope you find something that catches your eye.
They say the best camera is the one you have with you – well, for me, that could be a 50 year old Polaroid camera, a 35mm SLR or a medium format twin lens reflex.
And that DSLR? Well, it’s currently gathering dust at the bottom of a drawer somewhere…
If you have any questions, comments or wish to purchase or use a photo, I’d love to hear from you.
