I'm a professional Photographer and Filmmaker based in Sydney. I've been using Sony cameras since 2018, and have shot almost everything under the sun to find my niche. I now mainly specialise in Shortform content, outdoor/lifestyle and wedding work. I shoot hybrid for almost every client now, balancing stills and video. I love this workflow, and the way you can tell stories for couples, brands and clients.

I have a passion for the outdoors, specifically capturing places that are difficult for most to get to. Besides that I love teaching, and passing on experience and thoughts to those who find themselves inspired by what we do.

What is your go to in your Alpha kit and why?

My go to is the Alpha 1. There is just no other solution quite like it for fast capturing of high res stills and video. It allows me to do everything in one body. I shoot in such a fast paced hybrid way that the Alpha 1 will always be my workhorse for weddings, events, landscape etc. I shoot in a lot of cold and harsh environments (I love the cold) so I always need a camera that can put up with a lot.

Most memorable moment shooting with Alpha?

It would have to be the first time I reviewed Slog2 footage off my first Sony, the A7RII. I was mesmerized by the dynamic range, and the sharpness. It inspired me to shoot more video and become the hybrid shooter I am today.
