I am an award winning and the current Australian Photographer of the Year (awarded February 17th 2010 for 2009) as awarded by the AAIA. I am currently based in Melbourne and Canberra, but i do travel quite extensively in Australia, New Zealand, Asia and quite a few Pacific Islands for location shoots or to shoot specific models for my art work. I am currently working on a few different projects including, but not limited to, framed artwork, an ongoing calendar project over the next 12 months and a book project. I am highly experienced in Photoshop retouching and processing. Please note, I do not frequent this site much anymore and I do require prior arrangements due to my busy schedule and the demand I am under.

I have had the pleasure of shooting some of the most beautiful models from this site, Model Mayhem and other sites but I find that models from other sites tend to be more professional and reliable.

For more examples of my work please view my website.

I love working with different models, both male & female AND photographers in various projects and if you need some assistance technically with your website or help building that portfolio then send me a message. I am a highly experianced software designer, systems analyst web programmer in ASP/HTML and my partner is a highly experienced Graphic Designer dealing in print and web.

I am also available for advice to both models and photographers who are new or experienced.

Client commissioned shoots Club Exotica, Merge Clothing with the labels "Julia Silk" and "Style of Play", various exhibitions and client shoots.
