Architecture, Accommodation, and Garden Photography
No house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the hill. Belonging to it. Hill and house should live together, each the happier for the other.
-Frank Lloyd Wright

What kinds of properties do you photograph?
I specialise in photographing properties that are surrounded by nature — homes with lush gardens, boutique accommodation nestled in bushland, and architectural builds that are designed to connect with their environment. Whether it’s a rainforest retreat or a modern cabin on the edge of the ranges, I focus on capturing the essence of place and light.
Do you work with landscape designers and accommodation owners?
Yes, I regularly collaborate with landscape architects, boutique retreat owners, interior designers, and real estate agents. My photography highlights both detail and atmosphere, creating imagery that feels still and alive at the same time.
How long does a shoot take?
Depending on the package selected, shoots generally take between 1-2 hours but range up to an overnight shoot.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I’m based in the Dandenong Ranges and regularly shoot across Melbourne and regional Victoria. I often work in the Yarra Valley, Daylesford, Macedon, and coastal or alpine locations.
What’s your approach to editing?
My editing style is natural, timeless, and free of heavy filters. The aim is to reflect how the space feels — clean, calm, and connected to its surroundings.
