After leaving high school, I went to art school in Oamaru of all places — came out three years later with a Diploma in Fine Art majoring in Photography. Off I went into the big wide world and became… a baker.
Skip a few years and I moved to Wellington, determined to escape from the baking profession and become a graphic designer. I completed another stint of tertiary education, and graduated with a Diploma in Graphic Design, and one in Multimedia.
So, back out into the real world… I became… you guessed it — a baker!
Finally, I finally got a break — a real job! One that didn’t require a 2am start! Yay!
That was nearly fifteen years ago and here I am now, working as a multimedia designer and occasionally I do some freelance work.
In my spare time believe it or not, I still enjoy baking. But my passion is photography and creating art. I’ve been part of a handful of exhibitions in the last few years and sell a small number of limited edition fine art photographs.
You can find examples of my creative photography on my other website — Latentimage.
