Personal Information.

I am a photographer specializing in Wilderness and landscape photography based in Melbourne. I have been living in Australia for the past ten years spending much of my time photographing throughout Tasmania and Victoria. Being brought up in South Africa much of my childhood memories were of wilderness and the landscape. My fascination for wilderness and the landscape has come from my love of Bushwalking and from Photographers such as Ansel Adams and Peter Dombrovskis. Prior to coming to Australia I was living in London studying photography where I gained a BA (Hons) degree in Fine Art. I have exhibited extensively in both Australia and England.

 

Technical Information.

I use a 5x4 large format flatbed Linhof Technika V camera with three lenses. The lenses include a Nikkor-SW 90mm, Rodenstock Sirona-N 150mm and Schneider Tele-Arton 250mm. The film used is exclusively Fuji Velvia 100 and 100f, which I feel captures the subtle colour variations in nature.

Also I carry a Pentax 1 degree spot meter and seven 5x4 film holders, five for colour and two for Black and white. On average for a weeks bushwalking I carry fifty colour and twenty five black and white sheets of film.

Recently I have been using a Sony A850 24.6 megapixel digital camera with a Carl Zeiss 16 to 35mm lens and a Carl Zeiss 24 to 70mm lens.
