Learn About My Professional Photography Career
Master Photographer & University Lecturer 1988 to 2024. With 30+ years of professional knowledge and 20+ years of teaching experience.
My early years
For the love…
My love of photography started long ago when my parents gave me a camera for my twelfth birthday…
Then, I enjoyed photographing B&W landscapes, macros (particularly flowers), street scenes, and abstract subjects.
Nowadays, I love to photograph micro shots of bugs and time-lapse videos of street scenes, forests, streams, and flowers!
I also love organising the Toowoomba Shutterbugs MeetUp Group, which any local can join.
Now a days
As a professional
I have 30+ years of experience since graduating from QCA Morningside (now Griffith University, Southbank Brisbane) in 1988.
I also teach online Photography and Photoshop courses for the Bachelor of Communication and Media – Professional Photography (8-unit major) at the University of Southern Queensland (UniSQ).
Teaching photography workshops and guided tours have taken me to many Queensland locations (see below), including far North Queensland, the Blue Mountains in New South Wales and the south island of New Zealand.

Where my teaching began!
My first teaching role began with Flying Arts in 2001 with a week-long workshop in Blackall for Queensland Flying Arts Inc. in combination with Arts West Queensland.
Students photographed Aboriginal cave paintings, the Qantas Museum and Stockman’s Hall of Fame. They produced a B&W exhibition in a temporary darkroom on location as a result.
Since then, I have travelled around regional Queensland, New South Wales, and New Zealand, teaching guided tours, conducting week-long workshops, and speaking as a guest at symposiums.
I also organise a small Meetup photography group (Toowoomba Shutterbugs), running classes and field trips in and around South East Queensland.
My love of travel photography began after I travelled to Tasmania to photograph plus-size fashions for my friend Evie, who lives in the beautiful city of Launceston, which provides the perfect backdrop for these picturesque photoshoots.
