I have been a news photographer for 20 years.

When I was young it was my dream job and I feel so lucky it’s a career I am still able to do, even now I have children.

I’m beyond proud to have returned to the Shepparton News last year, in a mentoring role.

I love to work with photographers and helping reporters learn photography.

After all these years, I have the same passion for media photography.

Here’s a look back at 2022 through my eyes and lens.
