The Letter

Love is all about romance, the good the bad and the ugly, stories like Romeo and Juliet, Wuthering Heights and so many other classics. I wanted to capture different sides to love, deep, dark and intimate. It’s not always what you expect, but often what you need. Model – Emily Reinhard HMUA – Teighan Felton…

Taking the show on the road – Bairnsdale

During the pandemic, I did a LOT of demonstrations and presentations for camera clubs, all over the place. It was a great way to connect, make money, and share with a new audience. Now that the lockdowns are over I have been asked to visit some of these rural areas in person. I visited Ballarat…

Still Life with Lavender
