From the 1970s to the 1990s I photographed remote expeditions - to the Arctic, Himalaya, Kimberley, and other wilderness regions - and produced an internationally released TV documentary film of Australia's first Arctic expedition, screened by Discovery, CBC, BBC, ABC and across Europe.
Today, my colour sensibility is shaped by Saul Leiter, Tom Blachford and the American modernist movement. For architectural and compositional inspiration I call on Hélène Binet, Ernst Haas and Fan Ho. For insights into human behaviour I follow Edward Steichen and Elliot Erwitt. For portraiture, I value the work of Snowdon, Jane Bown and Edward Curtis. For me, photography is art, and colour is life, while for portraits sepia is the great humanising medium.
I shoot in digital full frame, plus traditional 35mm and 120 medium format film, using modern Nikon DSLR and Leica cameras, and historic Nikon F2 and Mamiya 67 equipment from the early 1970s.
