I am inspired by traveling and currently live in the USA away from my home country of Australia. I was raised  in a small village in the Hunter Valley region of New South Wales. I moved to a capital city to follow my creative destiny, finishing a degree in art and working as a make-up artist and graphic designer…”

Melbourne Daily Photo -Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

“I’m 40 years old, Irish, and in Australia on a “career break”. I’m living in Melbourne and seem to have lots of time on my hands to take photos… so I thought I’d start up this blog and keep a pictorial diary of my time here. When I’m not taking photographs, I’m riding my bike around Melbourne or volunteering with Bicycle Victoria and CERES to fill my time.”

Photoresque – Sydney Australia

“I am a keen photographer from Sydney, Australia.

A life changing moment for me was February 2010, during a 2 hour shopping rush before boarding the plane from Hong Kong to Australia. There in Mong Kok, “electronics capital” of Hong Kong, I purchased my first DSLR camera – Canon EOS 550D / Rebel T2i with an 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS kit lens.

From the moment I framed a scene and pressed the shutter button, a new intriguing world of possibilities opened to me. On that day, I put my poetic pen back into its case (except for the really special moments!). Why express the whirl of emotions, thoughts and inspirations of my mind, with words, when a photograph speaks a thousand of them?

Through Photoresque, I share with you my musings and exploration into the elements of photography.” >>> read more about Photoresque

“Originally from Canberra, Australia – Asher is a photographer, producer and visual gun for hire. After spending several years as a TV producer and picture taker in his home town, he now lives in the Netherlands.

Asher’s photography is about people, the real world, difficult gazes, the night and the day, eyes and maybe getting somewhere that other photographers couldn’t or just didn’t bother.

Currently living in Amsterdam – Asher has a (healthy) obsession for light and human beings.”
