Australia is such a unique country. Thousands of miles of pristine beaches,

spectacular river ways, its bushlands and vast empty expanses, wherever

you look there is something you will only see in Australia.

I was born here and have lived most of my life along the east coast of

New South Wales. Australia is an outdoor lifestyle that you just have to

indulge. What else can you do! Are you starting to see why I don’t

photograph in a studio yet? Well it is not simply that it has been done so

many times or in so many ways before…more that it could have been

taken anywhere in the world. The ever changing and unique Australian

landscape is the perfect backdrop for a Fine Art Nude photographic

session whether it is on a beach, a river bank, rocky outcrops or a

bushland setting.

The end result is something quite unique that cannot be recreated

elsewhere. Even the light is different. The intensity of the Australian sun

is second to nowhere and creates its own special magic that while

absolutely beautiful, is also a challenge to capture and harness in this

type of photography. Many try but very few successfully harness and

capture the beauty it provides. It has taken many years of learning to

finally understand and use this light to capture the beauty of the female

form in harmony with the environment.
