SightLine  Photography

I received my first point and shoot camera at the age of 17 and since then I've loved the magic of being able to record moments of life happening to me and around me. I treasure the photos I took many years ago with their ability to remind me of times that were important enough to want to capture and hold close. The power of photography and its ability to tell a story. Those photos now serve as a conduit to the past as they trigger in my mind the narrative of life at that time. 

​

Throughout the years I've continued documenting the stories of my life; capturing those moments that only ever happen once. Stories of family and friends, travel and the specialness of the every day. I enjoy a range of photography and work in many genres: macro, travel, people, nature, pets and sport. Event photography and sport photography enable me to really explore the challenge of capturing the action and reactions of participants - the strength and raw emotion.

​

In 2022 I joined the Gold Coast Photographic Society and am now an A Grade member, as well as being a member of the QPS and the APS. I hold an Associate with the Australian Photographic Society. My images have received numerous Awards and Acceptances in National and International competitions.
