About

I am an astro and landscape photographer based in Perth, Western Australia, focusing on the intersection of vast landscapes and the details of the cosmos. I am fortunate enough to have easy access to some of the world's darkest skies.

Beyond the lens, I am a geologist, avid hiker, camper and traveller. I am also an active member of the Astronomical Society of Western Australia.

Imaging Gear

My current setup is built around a 100mm imaging refractor and a premium mount, with the aim of eventually hosting it remotely under world-class dark skies.

I image from both at home under Bortle 7 skies, as well as from the Astronomical Society of Western Australia's Wheatbelt Observatory under Bortle 1 skies.
