Re-exploring The Pine Forest
Just a nice simple Sunday afternoon wandering around the Armidale Pine Forest with Evelyn.
The Big Chill Festival 2026
After unexpectedly shooting the Big Chill Festival for The Rocky Bottom Girls, I stuck around to photograph the headliners using a pair of vintage 1970s Nikon lenses—an experiment that resulted in plenty of misses, but a few shots I absolutely love. Between the chaotic manual focusing, the live music, and seeing acts like Sneaky Sound System and The Presets, it ended up being an unforgettable night.
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.
