Bio

I'm a car photographer, have been since 1990 [where's that time gone…?] It's great fun, I love it. As a kid in the late 60s early 70s I was obsessed with cars. As we drove somewhere I'd be asking my dad ‘what kind of car is that’? You'd find me hunched over pieces of paper drawing them from the latest Wheels magazine, watching the Bathurst 1000 on TV and sketching them as they whizzed by on the tele. How could I be anything else but an automotive photographer? I'm based in Melbourne, Australia. My academic achievements run to a degree in fine art photography completed way back in the 80s. I shoot locally, but also work in China and India. It's great fun meeting and working with people from cultures other than my own—to make friends and work creatively across language barriers is hugely rewarding. When I'm not shooting pics of cars I enjoy time with my wife, our teenage twins and our demanding boxer dog Juno. Life is full of family, sport [go Cats!], beach and skiing.
