For almost thirty years, I’ve worked as a freelance writer and photographer, with my work appearing in museums, academic and educational publishers, newspapers, magazines, and travel publications globally.
Various publications and exhibitions, including books, museum shows, academic journals, newspapers, magazines, travel guides, and educational materials, have featured my photography and writing. The distribution of these works spans Australia, Japan, Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
These pieces together represent a sustained effort over a lifetime to capture the essence of landscapes, architecture, archaeology, gardens, and the cultural heritage spanning both ancient and modern times.
