Margarine Ed. 1 of 30

When I was a kid, I didn't quite understand what my mother did for work. All I knew is that she worked in agriculture and knew a lot about plants. She explained to me that she worked with Canola - "It's what our margarine is made from".
From then on I would always point out the "Margarine paddocks" to my mother. She would laugh and I couldn't understand why.

"Margarine" plays tribute to the remarkable colours of the Canola flower that painted my surroundings every Spring as a child.

Growing up on acreage in rural New South Wales, I often spent my afternoons after school wandering around the countryside on pushbike or foot, capturing the landscape with my Dad’s film tape camera and experimenting with basic video editing programs. Not knowing at the time, this was later to become the foundation for a passion for landscape photography.With a strong desire to immerse myself in the art and music scene, I relocated to Melbourne to pursue a dream of film. During my studies of a Bachelor of Film & Television at Swinburne University in Melbourne, I became intrigued with the aerial perspective, seizing any opportunity to capture photography from the sky.Progressively over the university course, I naturally gravitated away from film and closer to photography. I worked professionally in the field of aerial photography in Melbourne, and after a long stint, I decided to pursue a lifestyle of travel instead. In recent times my focus has been primarily on capturing photography from my travels for fine art prints.My artistic style continues to develop as I find my niche and which aspects of photography I enjoy the most. Generally, my work showcases landscapes in its powerful form, with a limited presence of people and/or animals. Visually I am attracted to symmetry, shapes, and patterns.
