Lives Tugun, QLD
Years Shooting Been shooting for the mags for around 6 years but picked up my first camera around 10 years ago.
Favourite Riders Um, I’d have to say Matt Lackey, His a good mate and I love watching him surf, he is a freak when you give him a big section. I love shooting BP and Winny whenever I get the chance aswell….every time you shoot them you are pretty much guaranteed good shots.
Favourite Location At home I love shooting froggies but I’d have to say the best place I have ever shot, and most probably ever will shoot is the Great Barrier Reef….amazing place and not another surfer within 100km.
Favourite Shot For obvious reasons the cover of the 2005 Riptide Photo Annual would have to be a favorite of mine but I’d say the shot of the bomie out the front my mum’s place which was run in both Riptide 143 and Surfing Life 250….kind of hard question…

Insirations Money, haha nah. I do consider photography to be main job so I treat it like a job but looking at other photographers (TM, Ted, Turoy, Toinz, Sheildys) shoot amazing photo’s really makes me want to try harder to get shots that i’m happy with.
