About Me

ABOUT ME

So I'm from Christchurch in New Zealand. I had lived there all my life. After school I earned enough to buy myself a camera and went into studying photography for a couple of years mainly focusing on fine art, fashion and advertising work. After that I got a little sick of sitting in from of a computer and decided to give the outdoor industry a shot so I did a course that eventually bought me to Hong Kong.

In Hong Kong in the summer I taught at a surf camp instructing kids how to surf and then in the fall running school camps.

I traveled for a bit (vietnam etc..) then ended up going back to NZ just in time for that little earthquake, one of the most surreal things I have experienced. after that headed back to Hong Kong and have been here till now with the holidays being time for little trips around thailand and such...

I love anything to do with the outdoors, Climbing, Diving, Hiking, Kayaking, Dirt biking and anything else you can imagine, Photography is up there with the whole outdoor thing too and I shoot whenever I can.

As you had guessed, over the last few years traveling has become part of me too and I cant get enough of seeing new places, meeting new people and having new adventures!

PHILOSOPHY

Have fun, always be doing something new and exciting and of course a little something crazy.
