I take photos, shoot and edit video, write copy and produce content across multiple platforms.
I'm currently a Digital Content and Video Producer for Southern Cross Austereo's Today Network and Triple M.
I can also do things on the side.

Lady Gaga’s Fans: Monsters
Southern Cross Austereo was a presenting partner for Lady Gaga’s “Sydney Monster Hall” concert in July 2011. I was the project lead for the execution of the event (concert and behind the scenes footage, photos, updates and social media) across the metropolitan and regional Today Network radio websites.
One content initiative was the concept of “MonStars”, placing the spotlight on Lady Gaga’s super fans (a play on “monsters”, of course) and following their journey from winning event tickets all the way to the concert itself.
Four competition winners were profiled alongside their social media presences online as well as a series of videos, including the one above, which I produced, shot and edited.
The Script and Tinie Tempah, Sydney, April 2011.
I was pleasantly surprised with the way things turned out here.
Admittedly The Script’s sound isn’t my cup of tea however my perceptions changed watching them live. Lead by Danny O’Donoghue, the band were absolutely bursting with energy, taking the sell out crowd along with them for the ride.
To cap things off, O’Donoghue jumped into the photo pit towards the back half of the third song (we were given three songs to shoot) and reached out to the crowd over the barriers. What a sight!
Needless to say fellow snappers were simply beside themselves.
Iggy Pop, Big Day Out Sydney 2011.
I attended (and photographed) my first Big Day Out on Australia Day.
What a sight to behold. Chasing around a shirtless Iggy Pop throwing himself around the stage with my camera was both a challenge and a pleasure.
Although I felt totally drained and absolutely exhausted at the end of the day, this was fun.
Short Stack, Rolling Stone, December 2010.
I took this photo at their gig at The Metro in Sydney in July 2009.
It appeared on the Today Network and various Short Stack fan websites.
Now it’s in Rolling Stone Australia.
I am humbled.
Good Charlotte: Australian interviews and performances
Recorded live at Austereo’s Dirt TV studios in Sydney.
I operated a camera and edited and produced the final video clips for distribution online.
More performances and interviews with Good Charlotte can be found here.
AC/DC in Sydney, 20 February 2010
One helluva rockshow.
In this incredibly grainy clip you might be able to make out some boob flashing.
