My childhood and formative years were spent in Brisbane and, after graduating from high school in 1985, I spent the following year working an assortment of part-time jobs. It was during this year I started taking photos and spent 1987-88 studying photography at the Queensland College of Art.
My career began as a cadet photographer on The Canberra Times newspaper in 1989, before moving back to Brisbane and The SUN in 1990.
I began freelancing as a news photographer in 1991 and in 1992 moved to Edinburgh, Scotland, where I worked as a freelance news/tabloid photographer for more than five years. During this time I had work published in every major Scottish and London-based newspaper.
In 1998 I left Scotland and hitchhiked all the way around Australia, photographing everyone who gave me a lift and writing about each hitch (...so I did, available through Smashwords - see below).
I live in Brisbane and continue to work in the media.view less
