YOUR WORKSHOP LEADER: I am an award-winning photojournalist based in Ha Noi Vietnam, who specialises in news, advertising and travel work. I worked as a photojournalist with Fairfax Media (Australia) for over 20 years before starting a freelance business. I have also worked for various Vietnamese newspapers and magazines and a number of Vietnamese companies. I have exhibited a selection of my Vietnamese work at the New England Regional Art Museum, which was opened by Mr Mai Phuc Dzung, Consul General of Vietnam in Australia. My images have appeared in various publications including The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Australian, The Daily Telegraph, Vietnam Investment Review, Time Out HCMC, Asia Life, Country Style and Vogue Living. After returning to Australia in 2011 I became the Photographer at Focus Magazine and also continued working for News Ltd, Fairfax Media,The University of New England,The New England Conservatorium of Music and other local and international clients.
In 2014 I lead a small-group photographic tour to Vietnam with Quadrant travel which was a wonderful experience for myself and the guests. I returned to live in Ha Noi Vietnam in July of 2015 and will now be based here as a photographer.
