Tennis is my favourite sport and photography is what I do. Put the two things together and you get a photographer who has organized his work around the world of tennis.

The first tennis tournament I shot was the 1989 Australian Open and since 1994 I have been covering all the major tennis events around the world.

I have covered about 150 tournaments so far, including the last 40 Gran Slam events and several Davis Cup Finals .I also was the official photographer for the Australian Davis Cup Team at the 1999 Final in Nice against France where the Aussies won the Cup.

My work has been published worlwide and my photos appear regulary in Italy's largest sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport and in the tennis magazine Matchpoint.

Before working on the tennis tour I had a photographic studio in Sydney where I was shooting mainly fashion catalogues and still life. The need to get more movement in my photos pushed me to move into different directions and photoreportage was the one that best suited my photographic style. My knowledge of studio lighting and my experience in fashion have helped me a lot in building up a reputation in the sports industry, and I get many requests to shoot features with athletes and sports fashion catalogues.

In 2005 my work has been selected for two important exhibitions: "WTA: The Hhistory of Women's Tennis" at Proud Galleries in London and "Passing Shots, Photographers' Perspectives on Tennis" at the US Open Gallery, Flushing, New York.
