Season 1

For 10 years as I transitioned from freelance photographer to filmmaker I made unscripted documentary films about the photographers in my adopted home of Sydney. They were the ones who got the jobs I aspired to. They have international clients and careers.
Authentic films documented them unscripted as they work and even followed up with Zoom/ podcast you could join in an attempt to build community/ give the viewer a voice.

Season 1

The Premise:
Since we started this project the role of the professional freelance photographer and film maker has changed radically.

We want to document the ways that a generation is redefining that work.

About

Commercial & Editorial Work

Unfortunately I am not independently wealthy, so sometimes I have to work for a living. My last job was an adventure that involved travelling the ‘outback” Australia with these two characters for an NGO. Nice work if you can get it.
