I was surrounded by art as a child and art became a life long enjoyment and passion. My childhood work with pencil / charcoal and paper turned to markers, airbrush and ink as I grew into my late teen and early adult years. This is when the Graffiti scene took me over.

As I grew older and my career in the hospitality industry took precedence, I no longer did work outside of some sketches. But I was lucky within my career to have been traveling the world and I picked up a camera and began shooting my travels and surroundings. This is when street photography had taken me over. Photography has become my creative outlet and opportunity for artistic expression. A passion built from the beautiful people and places that I’ve gratefully found myself surrounded by.

My love for Street photography has turned into an opportunity. An opportunity to scratch the itch to create and make art. To share more creative, conceptual and imaginative work and to tell a story, to share an emotion and a sense of place.
