About Me
Not long after getting my first real camera I saw the images of Mary Ellen Mark and discovered quickly I was drawn to the genre of street photography and particularly its intersection with documentary and travel photography styles.
Home is Perth, Western Australia, and I enjoy exploring the culture of its beaches and coastal communities.
My work focuses on capturing details and moments, emotions and interactions; I aim to create photographs that pose a question which remains unanswered in the fleeting moment it takes to capture the image.
In my spare time I volunteer with the Perth based Shutterpaws Volunteer Photography group. We photograph rescue animals to help with their successful rehoming.
My Work
With Australian street photographer Julia Coddington, we have started the "Unexposed Collective", an online platform for active and emerging Australian women and non-binary street photographers. Unexposed Collective is on Facebook Unexposed Collective, and Instagram @unexp_collective

In 2017 I was listed by Cultura Colectiva as one of "7 Female Instagram photographers you should know if you want street cred".
I actively engage with the @womeninstreet online platforms and am listed on their great online World Map of Women Street Photographers.
In 2017, whilst in Varanasi, India, Julia Coddington and I were filmed for an episode of @womeninstreet stories. Watch it here on youtube.
