Utopia

Through photography and the post production process I aim to show our urban environment, not the glistening monuments to corporate success, but the liminal spaces as the antithesis of the skyscraper, capitalism’s unambiguous phallic power statement, the banal public spaces we transit every day on autopilot that stand in for the incongruity between the city’s promise and most people’s reality.

I’m a commercial photographer and completed a Master of Arts Photography in 2022 and was awarded the MGA Monash Gallery of Art Award for Excellence in the Master of Arts Photography.
