I really like taking pictures.

It was all for fun, at first. I liked how carrying a camera made me hone in more mindfully on the world around me, notice the little things I’d ordinarily see straight past.

Then I started selling photos with some of my travel journalism stories. Then clients started asking for pictures.

I’ve never taken any classes. I’ve learnt from reading and observing and taking a lot of pictures. Here’s a few of my favourites (+ more on Instagram).

Need photos? I have a mountainous archive of images available for purchase for commercial or private use. And if I don’t already have it, I can probably snap it for you. Let’s collaborate.
