Soul Silver Party Project
With a wave of animation projects on the horizon, I’ve started relearning how to draw through a small series of Pokémon SoulSilver-inspired character illustrations. Blending my current style with techniques from my old animation work, the project feels like the first step back into a creative medium I’ve deeply missed.
Nundle Dog Race 2026
This year’s Nundle Dog Races felt more like a relaxed holiday, shooting light with just a 24mm lens and focusing on enjoying the day with family and dogs. The photos were hit-and-miss, but the vibes were great—and that’s what it’s really all about.
Portraits at Thunderbolts Cave
After a long day shooting the Australian Celtic Festival, we stopped by Thunderbolts Cave for a quiet reset and a quick portrait test as the sun dropped. The results were mixed, but it’s a location I’m keen to revisit—and at the very least, we left far more relaxed than we arrived.
Australian Celtic Festival 2026
The Australian Celtic Festival returned bigger than ever this year, with multiple events running at once and barely enough time to capture everything before rushing off to the next location. Despite the chaos, the shorter shoot day, and my first-ever taste of haggis, I still came away with some shots I’m really happy with—and a bottle of mulled wine for a rainy day.
Quoll Headquarters Open Day 2026
Quoll Headquarters’ annual open day saw smaller crowds this year, but it was still a rewarding experience as I volunteered to photograph the event and made the early drive out to Tenterfield. With new areas now open and ongoing conservation work on display, it was great to see the team’s progress—and I’m hopeful for a future collaboration on educational video projects.
Sb51 Golden Way
SB51 Golden Way explores the idea of what ghosts do after death, imagining them not as figures tied to a single location but as eternal explorers of the world around them, set against the historic landscape of Hanging Rock in Nundle. Inspired by Australian animation history and the work of Yoram Gross, the short film blends hand-drawn animation with live-action backgrounds to encourage viewers to slow down and appreciate the beauty of the region.
Sanctuary At The Waters Edge
Sanctuary at the Water's Edge is Visitors From Dreams second collaboration with Uniplan and the first to take a documentary approach, telling the story behind the Turtle Sands holiday park on the Bundaberg coastline. Combining retrospective material with new interviews and location filming, the project also marked the launch of Uniplan's refreshed brand identity and established the visual direction for future case studies.
STORIES: VOL I
In the final days before daylight saving ended, I experimented with shooting on my phone, creating a small series called Stories that I originally shared on Instagram. With the early morning light now lacking mood, I’m keen to revisit the idea soon—possibly with my everyday camera setup for a grittier, low-light approach.
THE CASCADE PROJECT: VOL II
The Cascades Project continues with Lisa as my second subject, returning to the Cascade Trail under much drier conditions and very different light, resulting in another set of dreamy, atmospheric images. With winter approaching and drought setting in, the project is now a race against time and weather to bring it all together.
Campus to City Canter 2026
Covering the Campus to City Canter pushed me well outside my comfort zone, trading my usual work for fast-paced event photography along the 5km route from SportUNE to Civic Park. Despite my best efforts (and literally racing the winner), I still missed the key shot—but it was a fun, worthwhile experience, and I’m keen to give it another crack next year.
