This collection includes both finished series and works in progress - images from intentional photographic series alongside quieter, more instinctive moments. While much of my work is rooted in focused themes and long-form bodies of work, I also embrace fluid photography, responding to the world as I move through it.

Grounded in my connection to Newdegate and the wider rural landscapes of Western Australia, I am drawn to overlooked and weathered places, abandoned sites and environments marked by human presence and time.

Working primarily with 35mm film and alternative processes like cyanotype, I engage slowly and thoughtfully with these spaces. Through my photography, I seek to record traces, hold memory, and create room for quiet reflection.

Unseen

Currently in Progress.

A documentary photo series that honours the unseen work and quiet strength of rural women. Through intimate portraits, everyday scenes, and personal reflections, the project sheds light on the mental load, emotional labour, and powerful contributions women make to their families, farms, and communities. It is a celebration, not of perfection or recognition - but of resilience, capability, and the deeply human stories that too often go unnoticed.

Mixture of alternative processing & film.

Summer, Salt.

Currently in progress.

In order to heal, I had to go backwards, back to the beginning, to the spaces where time stands still.

I searched for the colours and patterns woven into nostalgia, tracing them like threads through memory. Some were vivid, untouched by time. Others had softened, blurred at the edges.

How far had they faded? Had distance reshaped them, or had I?

Standing in these places again, I wondered, does returning bring me closer to the truth, or only to the story I want to remember?

This work is a reflection of that search. A quiet exploration of the past, the way it lingers, and the way it changes when we look back.

The Last Trial

These photographs were taken at the Newdegate Research Station in Western Australia’s Wheatbelt. Once a hub for agricultural research on poor soils, the land now serves as a community crop.

But the station’s homes lie abandoned - quiet remnants of a past era. Through these images, I explore the contrast between land still in use and the domestic spaces left to decay.

It’s a reflection on progress, abandonment, and the traces people leave behind

Fading Grace

In Fading Grace, I wanted to capture the beauty of the Oratorio di Santa Cita in Palermo, Sicily. The photograph highlights a delicate chandelier amid the fading grandeur of the church, which has endured centuries of history, conflict, and change. The ornate details of the ceiling and walls, once symbols of Baroque splendor, now show signs of age. This image reflects the resilience of beauty within decay, where the remnants of the past quietly remind us of both endurance and the fragility of time.

Fading Grace was featured at the Perth Centre of Photography 2024 Collective Exhibition. Shot on Kodak Gold 35mm Film. Developed and scanned by Silver Halide Studios.

Rolling In

'Are the clouds rolling in? Is the sun being chased by the milky white?
She sighs, another day lost. Another day mourned.'

A self portrait of portraying the struggle with infertility, slowly loosing my womanhood and my identity.

Echoes on the Line

In the midst of a hazy midday, I witnessed the shadows, dancing in harmony with a sunburnt kiss.

The sea transformed into a radiant blinding light, as if ignited by a celestial fire.

There, above the shimmering waves, a symphony of colours - yellow, blue, and red - simple vibrations weaving together in a perfect melody.

Lingering in the air like a cherished memory.
