Whitsunday Coast Who's Who
Public Profile
My work is centred around connection and real life rather than overly posed images. I love photographing the atmosphere of a space, the people in it, the details you might otherwise miss and those in between moments that tell the bigger story.
I work with small businesses, creatives, community organisations and local people across the Northern Rivers, Gold Coast and Brisbane photographing:
• Branding and lifestyle sessions
• Retreats, workshops and courses
• Community events and gatherings
• Birthdays, celebrations and private events
• Live music, gigs and performances
• Venue and hospitality events
• Small business and creative projects
• Personal branding and behind the scenes content
• Community organisations and local initiatives
• Lifestyle and at home sessions
I’m particularly drawn to projects that have a sense of place, personality or community behind them. Whether it’s a small workshop in a beautiful space, a local event bringing people together, a musician playing to a crowd or a business wanting photographs that actually feel like the people behind it, I’m there to capture the experience as it unfolds.
I also offer relaxed lifestyle sessions for families and individuals who prefer something natural and comfortable, whether that’s at home, somewhere meaningful or simply doing something you genuinely enjoy together.
Based in the Northern Rivers and always happy to connect with good people doing good things locally.

Distinguished and Famous people from Whitsunday Coast
🏉 Paul Bowman
Paul Bowman played junior football with the Proserpine Whitsunday Brahmans before a long North Queensland Cowboys career. He played 203 matches for the Cowboys and represented Queensland twelve times in State of Origin. His name now belongs to a junior carnival at Proserpine, bringing young players together around participation, encouragement and sportsmanship. It is a particularly direct local legacy: children play on the same community pathway that preceded his professional career. The nickname Bear accompanies the honours, but the carnival's emphasis remains on getting youngsters involved and enjoying the game.
🏉 Sam Faust
Sam Faust was born and raised at Proserpine before playing professional rugby league with the North Queensland Cowboys. His life is remembered locally through the Sam Faust Memorial Relay at the Paul Bowman junior carnival. Young players, families and volunteers take part in an event that keeps his connection to the town visible beyond the years of his playing career. The remembrance sits within a long community football tradition, where professional success is only one part of the story and local clubs continue to hold the names and relationships that began it.
🎨 Maria “Mary” Spencer
Maria Spencer, known as Mary, was born in the Netherlands in 1912 and migrated with her family as a child. Her later drawings preserved landmarks around Proserpine and the Whitsundays, creating a record of places altered by time and development. Her 1996 An Artist's Guide to Proserpine and the Whitsundays included thirty-three sketches. The work gives her a specific local contribution, extending beyond simply living in an attractive district. A building that seems ordinary in daily life can become valuable history once somebody has taken the trouble to draw it.
