Owner / MD (a pty ltd company) - Industrial Photography, Corporate Communications, Videography, Commercial Drone Pilot. Also Owner / Franchise Holder also of Open2view.com Mullaloo - A franchise for Real Estate Photography.During a period of low oil industry activity I started a company to leverage my passion for photography with my safety experience working on site in several Heavy Industries (Oil, Steel, Rail, Maritime) by "going Pro" in photography. Our approach was to 1. Understand the Engineering Story 2. Get in and out of site SAFELY with SMS designed for photography in risky environments 3. Get the Photo and tell that story to non Engineers.Highlights include - Empire Oil & Gas (Multiple Assignments) - 2016 Annual report to shareholder report photography, 2017 ASX Announcement drone video of well test success / Oil find, Well testing drone footage.Various building sites for doing work such as drone shoots, timelapse, project recording etc.
