Contempora 2 – Berninneit Art Gallery, Cowes

Thompson Avenue,
Cowes Vic 3922

Exhibition, 17 January – 1st February 2026

My photographic practice continues to explore the intersection of nature, abstraction and perception.   In this new series, I turn my lens toward the giraffe – a creature both iconic and overlooked – to examine the intricate beauty of its form and markings.

Using high-contrast black and white imagery, I strip away environmental context to isolate patterns, texture and form.  The results is a visual study that borders on the abstract, where the familiar becomes unfamiliar and the ordinary transforms into graphic elegance.   Simple and evocative, I highlight the giraffe’s distinctive coat and the idea of being seen.

Through composition and tonal contrast, I’m looking to further my desire to challenge the boundaries of traditional wildlife  photography and invite viewers to see with fresh eyes – to pause, reflect, and rediscover the extraordinary within the everyday.

Coming soon…..

Prints….

I’ve recently started offering a selection of my favourite images including those that have been exhibited in galleries, available for purchase directly from my website.

Think beautiful Fine Art Prints in both Limited & Open Editions featuring wildlife, nature, travel & cultural images!

All images are hand printed on demand by myself on museum quality, premium fine art mat or lustre paper (depending on the image) and archival inks, as I am fastidious in wanting to ensure you get an image of the highest quality.

All limited edition prints come with a certificate of authenticity, with edition sizes varying between 1 and 100.

Custom framing is available on request.
