Phils introduction to photography began when he was given a Kodak Instamatic 110 film camera in 1972 and began to record life on the family 6000 acre cattle property in southern Queensland.

 

His passion for photography really started years later after he attended several workshops led by high profile wildlife photographers allowing him access to professional cameras and lenses. Phil was also introduced to traditional darkroom processes during this time, developing black and white film and prints, which he did both for himself and eventually others. He started using digital cameras in 2008, moving to the fully digital, colour managed workflow he uses today. He has run numerous photographic workshops and had several solo exhibitions.

 

Although he has been engaged for sporting events, product photography, commissioned works, weddings, engagement sessions and private events, Phils primary pursuit is landscapes where he shares amazing scenes of this beautiful country.

 

Phil now lives in Esk with his wife and is a regular stall holder at the Esk Country Markets most Saturdays of the year. He is a member of the Australian Photographic Society and the SomersetArt Society Inc, where he contributes Newsletter articles on photography related topics.
