bio

Hey I’m G! I’m a curious soul with a camera and a thirst for adventure.


I shoot weddings, chase stars, capture the beauty of our world and come home with a gazzilion photos to sort out. Many of them don’t get to see the light of the day in case you’re wondering.


Photography for me is more than just capturing photos. It’s a therapy, it’s social life, it’s how I make this world a better place :) I'm also one of the Nikon Australia official Creators. So grateful.


Join me in this trip of a lifetime. We will wander, learn and HAVE FUN!!! :)
