About Me

I'm a New Zealander who met a Belgian while living in Turkey ... I live in Belgium now. I''m a freelance photographer, a website woman and writer, a wanderer.

Work History

  • Self-Employed
  • Photographer, Editor
  • January 2010 to Present
  • Photographer, available throughout Europe which means that I am constantly walking into the unexpected. I work across fields, documentary photography being my passion, closely followed by portraiture, freelance for media outlets, and anything else that comes along. I work with a Canon EOS 5D MkII and find that there is not much this camera and I won't attempt.

  • ha'atelier - platform for philosophy and art
  • documentary photographer
  • January 2007 to Present
  • ha'atelier (www.ha-atelier.de/en) is an international Berlin-based platform for philosophy and art.
    I am the documentary photographer for ha'atelier, currently working between Berlin and Antwerp, providing coverage of the TASWIR Exhibition - an 18 room international exhibition in the Martin Gropius Bau Museum. I photograph all events, artworks, artists and those associated with the exhibition. Many of my photographs are presently on display within the exhibition, forming an evolving aspect of the project.

  • CEJI
  • Communications Assistant/Photographer
  • January 2007 to October 2009
  • CEJI is an international non-profit organisation working with individuals and organisations of all religions, cultures and backgrounds to promote a diverse and inclusive Europe. As a photographer, I have an ongoing relationship with the NGO, providing coverage of all events, from a platform launches in the European parliament through to annual board meetings, receptions and workshops.

  • EPTO
  • Photographer
  • EPTO, a European Peer Training Organisation based in Brussels. I have covered, and continue to cover a variety of their workshop and training events in Brussels, Istanbul and Luxembourg.
