In addition to entrepreneurial, corporate, and consulting work in the business and non-profit sectors, I’ve been a professional photographer for more than thirty years, and a passionate picture-taker for most of my life.
I specialize in images of products, places, and people with a focus on food and wine, using a candid, photojournalistic style, complemented with a comfort in digital color correction and color management software tools. I work in studio or on location to best meet clients’ needs for commercial, editorial, and corporate images. Recent assignments include work for more than thirty-five wineries, restaurant and retail groups, grocers, exhibitions, corporate publications and events, the Government of Western Australia, newspapers, magazines, and books, among others.
My fine arts prints were exhibited as a part of the 2006 International Photography Exposition, Foto Freo, and at a one-man show in Fremantle later that year. Perth's Gallery East has also featured several of my food and landscape images.
Based in Fremantle, Western Australia, our family loves to travel, and my location images have been published in the Los Angeles Times, as well as on numerous web sites. I’ve spoken on and moderated several industry panels on the topics of digital media and new technologies .
While predominantly self-taught, I've studied photography at the Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara, at The Santa Fe Workshops in New Mexico, with noted American photographer Arthur Meyerson, and with fine arts printer Mac Holbert, co-founder and head of Nash Editions in Los Angeles. I teach classes in digital photography at Notre Dame University Australia and have also taught at Central TAFE in Perth. I’m a member of both the Australian Institute of Professional Photography and the Australian Commercial and Media Photographers organizations
My traditional education includes a diploma from Phillips Exeter Academy, an undergraduate degree in English Literature and Television Production from UCLA, and an MBA from the Harvard Business School.
