There was a time when I left photography behind.

Selected editorial and commercial work for fashion magazines and brands, 2010 to 2016.

More than a decade ago, the camera was how I spoke to the world each day. It meant editorial shoots for fashion magazines, along with fashion and advertising projects for brands both local and international. It also meant quiet glimpses of everyday life, and tender moments between couples in love.

Until one day, I left it all behind to begin a different chapter of my life.

For the ten years that followed, I poured much of my energy into business, investing in and running ventures across entertainment, F&B, and a recording studio. The camera sat mostly still through that time, not because I had stopped loving photography, but because that chapter asked for all of my attention.

Moving to Melbourne was one of the most difficult choices I have ever made. Yet unexpectedly, the rhythm and soul of this city rekindled a spark I thought had long faded. I found myself wanting to pick up the camera again.

This time, I am no longer chasing perfection in every frame. What I seek is much simpler: a moment that feels authentic, meaningful and fully lived.

This is where the two sides of that journey meet: a perspective shaped by years of telling stories through the lens for magazines and brands, and a renewed sensitivity to the quieter stories found in everyday life.

This time, the story could be yours.

If you would like to know more about my return to photography, from rebuilding a portfolio through old client emails to the first shoot after more than a decade away, I have shared the fuller story in the Journal.
