RM WILLIAMS OUTBACK CALENDAR 2020
I am thrilled that the iconic Australian outfitter and bootmaker, RM Williams, selected three images to appear in their 2020 calendar - including the cover image captured high above the floodplains of the eastern Kimberley.
A Childhood obsession
As a child I would spend countless hours hypnotised by images of the natural work in the Encylopedia or National Geographic, often spending an entire day meticulously drawing, transposing and tracing these images. My photography is merely an adult incarnation of a childhood obsession.
a family history of aviation
Some of my earliest memories are of flying in my Grandfather’s Cessna 175 Skylark, a four-seater light aircraft, that he flew from his farm in Queensland’s Western Downs Region. The buzz of the propeller, the vibration of the chassis and the bumpy rural runway were all part of the thrill. However, it was the distinctive viewpoint of the geometric patterns of the fields of grain and ant-like dots of livestock scattered across the paddocks that stayed with me.
prints are more than photographs - they are art
In a modern world, so much is done superficially and so many million images are seen. I just want to capture that one image that speaks to you.... and stays with you. Our prints are high fidelity using only trusted suppliers and the highest quality available materials. They truly are museum-grade quality.
ABOVE AUSTRALIA
My aim is simple: to create enchanting, colour-laden photographs that transfix the viewer and evoke the same emotions, experience, thoughts and sensations that I felt when the image was captured.... those of awe and wonderment. Mother nature after all has an imagination far greater than that of any human.
A PASSION FOR EXPLORATION
Photography is just my way to capture, interpret and share my passion for exploration. In a modern world, so much is done superficially and so many million images are seen. I just want to capture that one image that speaks to you.... and stays with you.
