"Until you spread your wings, you’ll have no idea how far you can fly" Napoleon
Sometimes referred to as The Little General. A nick name that came about for my 3 year old Grandson due to his ability to dictate, delegate, debate and dispute almost everything.
I have been a creative portrait photographer for nine years. While studying at the Victorian College of the Arts in the 1970’s as a ballet dancer, I was encouraged to discover many different areas of the Arts as I could. I developed a passion for photography in my early teens and having studied Art, Theatre, film and a little in the TV industry, photography was a new canvas, a passion that has grown now in my later years. Drawing on a life time of artistic mediums greatly influences the pieces I create. The use of props and costumes plays a huge part in giving a theatrical look to my images.
