BOOKS
My first book Italian Joy was published in 2005. It was one of the most humbling moments of my life. Holding the first copy in my hands, reading my words, telling my story about leaving a successful business and career to go find the right life for me, a life full of passion and love. I could hardly believe it was true. I remember seeing the photos of my Italy for the first time in print and leafing through the pages with tears of joy rolling down my cheeks. Since then I have had the honour of photographing 8 books and writing 3 and since that day it’s become one of my favourite creative addictions.
ITALIAN JOY
Italian Joy was my first and book and still takes up a huge chunk of my heart. It’s my story about leaving my Sydney life, a successful business, moving to Italy to go chase something I loved, photography and what can happen if you dare to dream.
CHASING A DREAM
In Chasing A Dream, I tried to put into words and photos how it felt to find an unexpected passion for photography and the love and wonder it has given me. These photos and stories are personal, they are part of my journey.
PARIS TANGO
It was an unexpected twist in my story that my partner would come home one day and announce we were moving from Italy to France. Paris Tango was written and photographed in my early years in Paris and it’s a tribute to the people that call the city home.
NAPLES: A WAY OF LOVE
Naples was my first love, in fact it starred in my first ever published story for Marie Claire. This book was fulfilling a dream, to photograph this city I love in depth with fellow Australian writer Lisa Clifford.
MY FRENCH LIFE
Vicki Archer and I were friends back in Sydney and it was such a great joy for me to reconnect with her in Europe and photograph her beautiful home and life in Provence.
FRENCH ESSENCE
My French Life was such a success, so Vicki Archer and I teamed up again to shoot Provence through Vicki’s eyes with her own unique sense of style and beauty.
MY AMALFI COAST
Possibly the most beautiful coastline in the world, it was a dream job to photograph My Amalfi Coast for Aussie local Amanda Tabberer who called Positano home for the best part of 20 years.
MADE IN ITALY
I travelled with Silvia Colloca to Abruzzo, Le Marche, and Molise where she spent her childhood photographing these beautiful regions.
