So, What’s My Story?

Where did it all start? Maybe you didn’t ask, but let’s say you did.

Believe it or not, I began as a professional tennis coach. Yep, my journey into photography actually began with a break from two decades in sports science and biomechanics—a world of endless travel and 50-week work years. After coaching and running around tennis courts worldwide, I was ready for something new.

Enter: a DSLR camera. I figured, “The best camera takes the best photos… right?” So I picked one up from Michael’s Camera Store in Melbourne and signed up for a free intro course. After the class, I snapped a few shots of my 8-week-old kelpie pup, posted them, and—surprise!—my photos went viral and even landed in the Herald Weekly Times. I thought, “Maybe this photography gig isn’t so hard!” I was hooked, enrolling in every course I could find at Michael’s, and even joined a landscape tour along the Great Ocean Road. That was it. Landscape photography had my full attention.
