- I specialise in photographing moments of tenderness so I tend not to do posed portraiture and instead prefer to work unobtrusively at family gatherings

A Macedonian christening from a different angle
A Macedonian christening in Sydney yesterday - while waiting in the church for another christening to finish, I decided to photograph that christening but try different angles.

A timeless photo
I photographed a funeral last week.
At the wake, I spoke to the 93 year old mother of the son who had died and learnt about how she had immigrated to Australia from The Netherlands after WWII.
I asked if I could photograph her and she agreed. I asked because the funeral photos were for family in The Netherlands who were unable to attend the funeral so it was very important for them to be able to see her. I also photographed her because I was conscious that this might be the last beautiful photo of her.
I can look at this photo for hours.
