Melbourne based photographer working with negative space, but not in the sense of the image, the negative space behind the lense. Capturing emotion in every shot is a natural desire for me. With a background in music and painting i have always tried to convey stories without the use of words. With a love for life and everything that breathes, i always endeavour to create a treasure with every click.

A tradition that dates back centuries is Kahve reading. Many cultures read different cups when drunk such as tea leafs, but for the Turkish its Kahve. There is a beautiful ritual to the making of kahve, the gentle conversation during consumption and the proceeding reading after the kahve has been consumed. Often a coin is placed on the cup for a financial readings, and a ring for the future of love in your life. However, the cup is not always topped and the readings are quite thorough from cup, handle and saucer.
