Currently living in Hobart, Tasmania, I am a photographic artist, working with historical and analogue photography techniques. My key focus is 19th century photographic techniques predominantly wet plate collodion, but also Cyanotype, pinhole photography, Solargraphy, lumen prints and chemigrams.
For nearly 40 years photography has been my fulltime profession and passion. I have come full circle, learning my craft in the film era, adopting digital technology as a necessary evolution as a commercial photographer, and now as an artist, investigating the earliest photographic techniques in my practice, while also experimenting with ways to take these traditional processes to new places, creatively and photographically.
I have recently created Tasmania’s only community access darkroom within the Kickstart Arts precinct in New Town, which will be the home of my own arts practice but also a hub for analog and alternative photography practice and education.
My goal is build on my existing skills as an educator in the area of analog, alternative and historical photographic processes, to encourage and mentor young people who want to pursue these areas of photography, share my passion for photography and push the boundaries of what photography is and can be.
