About me

An Australian fine art photographer, artist and writer based in London, my most recent employment has been within marketing and communications. Most of my photography and art is available for sale as limited edition or open edition prints. I also have an extensive collection of photographs available for licensing. I'm available for website and social media consultancy, writing assignments (blogging, copywriting, proofreading, copyediting, etc.), design, desk research and administration support. I'm also available for photographic commissions. I'm ideally seeking freelance work or contracted self-employment that allows me to work flexible hours remotely. But I'm currently also open to temporary or fixed-term contracts or permanent part-time positions. And maybe even permanent full-time employment depending on the role.
