My photography basically started as a hobby when I was a kid and I followed in the footsteps of my father who was a keen amateur photographer specialising in wildlife and landscapes. I have always been a keen fisherman and started fishing around the ocean beaches and rocks catching and photographing bream, whiting, tailer, and blackfish etc. until one day I saw a guy catch a 20-pound southern bluefin tuna off the rocks at Kurnell, on the southern headland of Sydney 's Botany Bay .

This tuna was the first gamefish I ever photographed and the excitement and spectacle of the capture encouraged me on a course of land-based gamefishing. Back then in the early 70's this style of fishing had only just started to become popular and my first few photos and articles published on land based game appeared in Modern Fishing and Fishing World magazines over 3 decades ago.

Since the rock fishing days my gamefishing career has gone from bouncing around in small boats, often too far offshore, to the larger vessels I mostly fish aboard to-day. I've tried to take photos of everything I've ever caught or seen get caught and the urge to broaden my photo library has taken me to many fabulous places around the world. There are still many new destinations to explore and the quest to shoot these beautiful acrobatic marlin will continue for some time to come. I sure hope you enjoy them!
