Welcome

Welcome to my work as a Community Photographer. I approach my work as a form of social documentary, capturing the lives and faces of people. I also document social gatherings from political rallies to friends parties. I exhibit and share my work both online and in public space.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People are advised that this collection includes images of deceased persons. They are published with deep respect and gratitude for the opportunity to photograph them.

Celebrating An Innovate Reconciliation Plan

During 2020 I was invited to provide a series of images for the Archdiocese of Brisbane Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan.

The launch of the RAP was held at the Cathedral of St Stephen in November 2020 with  a cultural welcome ceremony conducted by Tribal experiences.

This was the second RAP Plan to which I had contributed photography from my collection. The first was the Micah Projects RAP plan.

Neighbours on the Boundary Exhibition

This exhibition celebrates Neighbour Day 2017 on 26th March. It features people for whom Boundary Street is a neighbourhood of life, work, relaxation, shopping , celebration, and friendships. 

Boundary Street is a neighbourhood that embraces diversity. Shopfronts tell stories of the old and new cultures that have made a home here. Private homes and public space sit side by side. Street signs tell the histo ry of a colonial presence on ancient land of the Jagera and Turrbal peoples 

This exhibition is running conjunction with an online exhibition
