After 24 years in Conservation, 6 as a business consultant and 5 as a Senior Manager in a large healthcare organisation, it really was time for something different. So 5 years ago (2018), I joined the team at Open2view.

For the first 9 months, I built a brand new business in Central Otago working with agents and vendors in the greater Cromwell, Clyde and Alexandra area. For various reasons, my life was drawn back to Canterbury and so began my time as an Open2view photographer in Canterbury living in Rangiora.

Photography has always been part of my life from my early days with the New Zealand Wildlife Service and the Department of Conservation. While I knew my way around a camera, it is true that real estate photography presents a different challenge to the landscape and wildlife photography I was used to. But having a love for straight lines and subjects that don't move helped alot.

Outside of my work life I enjoy keeping fit, collecting and listening to classic vinyl and enjoy a massive passion for classic cars.
