About Me


I'm a Brisbane based photographer working in mostly in the field of rock photography, model folios, weddings, fashion events and the goth/industrial music scene (official photographer for Faith nightclub, Lovecats Nightclub, Schverkraft Nightclub and Pure Nightclub) but also covering medieval re-enactments (primarily as official photographer to the Abbey Museum's yearly fairs) and I have been working on projects for fashion designers like Asylum7, Nighteshade Jewellery, After Dark Jewellery, Cyanide Reign and have a couple of make up artists to promote over the next few months. This last year saw me shooting several rock and alternative bands and even for the Bartercard Miss Indy models at the International Car Show so don't assume that I'm restrained to goth photography!!
For example recently I shot for Jeff Martin, INXS, Wolfmother, Nitzer Ebb, iNation, Candypain, The Mercy Dolls, Apoptygma Berzerk, Genitorturers, Combichrist and more.

Generally I bring models, photographers and makeup artists together in my own forums but most of my contacts are also through I am available for wedding, event, portrait or band photography and can also do high end post processing/manipulation to fit pretty much any fantasy/goth/other interesting design brief you have.
Here's a recent image from a dance instructor's folio I shot:
