He had his first camera when he was about 7 , and really got into it more when he started school, taking pictures of friends , excursions etc…After school he went to college to further his photographic skills, but it only lasted about 3 months, as he felt he wasn’t learning anything, so he packed his bags and went to the snowy mountains with his best friend, Craig. From there he got into Sports photography, doing a lot of free style ski-ing photos, doing covers for the Australian ski magazines, and quickly got picked up to do the shootings for Quicksilver.
