“Mastering photography is the simple process of taking hundreds of pictures every day for the rest of your life”
Proud Jaru Indigenous Australian Internationally recognised & award winning sport photographer specialising in basketball currently based in Perth, Western Australia.
A neurodivergent artist with over a decade of experiences using photography to understand, anchor & reflect on my ever evolving perspectives.
Work with global brands such as Nike, Jordan, Foot Locker, Apple, Mercedes-Benz & Tesla.
Several years experience photographing sport at National & International levels including the NBL, AFL, NRL and WWE. Working directly for leagues or at team levels for the Perth Wildcats, Sydney Kings & East Perth Royals travelling with teams domestically & internationally.
Several years in mainstream print & online media for The Koori Mail Newspaper Australia's National Indigenous run newspaper as well as 7West Media, The West Australian, PerthNow & the Sunday Times.
I love travel and have had my art displayed in Paris, Vietnam, USA & Singapore.
My personal goals include being able to photograph sport at the highest levels such as for FIBA the NBA or The Olympic Games & hope to look back on my life and be known as one of the great sport photographers of my time.
Additionally I seek to utilise my privilege as an artist to give back to my community.
As a leader within my community my calling is to inspire the next generation of leaders by shifting the mental and physical barriers we face that limit our dreaming.
I volunteer my time and expertise when it aligns with my calling. I love working with the team at Binar Futures and Indigenous Basketball Australia. Who are making real steps today to create the leaders of tomorrow.
