In any ordinary situation this nondescript warehouse would just be another semi-industrial site on the outskirts of a town. However, after overnight rain, shallow puddles of water remained and created a surreal reflection that transformed this everyday architecture in to a thing of beauty.

Biography
I?m a Fine Art photographer, based in Sydney, Australia.
I am primarily interested in documenting the everyday world around me, with a particular interest in landscapes featuring human interventions that visually activate their surroundings in strangely compelling ways. I am drawn to spaces that convey surreal or fictitious narratives, ortuitously photogenic environments that I try to carefully document rather than photographically exaggerate. Some of my work also explores the notion of place in the context of my dual citizenship of Australia and the UK.
