Self-Portrait in Top Hat & Tails, 1994

 

About

Born in Melbourne, Australia, after graduating from Frankfurt International School in Germany, I studied Graphic Design at Maidstone College of Art in the United Kingdom, where I first began taking photographs seriously, and then at the Royal College of Art in London.

Returning to Australia, I spent most of the 1980s working as an art director in the world of advertising. Not wanting to be confined to a desk day after day, I drifted off to pursue various other creative endeavours. Finally I decided the spontaneity of photography and designing within the context of a photographic frame more suited to my temperament.

Studying Graphic Design at Art College taught me lateral and conceptual thinking, a Diploma of Photography from Sydney TAFE Ultimo taught me the photographic technique necessary to successfully execute my concepts.
