By its very nature this post is a little self-serving, so if you don't like it press back now :)
It's been over 2 years since my last site redesign, and it was well overdue. I also wanted a place to be able to sell my photography, rather than use RedBubble which I had been doing very very sporadically until now (in fact I hadn't added any new work to RedBubble for over a year).
Anyway, so I've spent the last month or so redesigning my site and with a major change, incorporating a shopping cart to better showcase and sell fine art photographic prints.

It’s still a work in progress at the moment – I’ve only added a few prints and there's a few tweaks and content still to add, but I'm happy with it so far.

I’m using the fantastic Created For Life (http://www.createdforlife.com) print and framing studio for printing and framing my work – they’re the same guys that Ken Duncan and many other professional photographers use. Their work is first class and designed to last – it’s a premium quality and therefore costs more than your local printing lab. But the quality is worth it when you want your work to last.
The trip to the Kimberley reignited my passion for photography. After chatting with Ken for hours as we trekked out to Mitchell Falls at 10pm at night, listening to his advice and tips on showcasing and selling my work, it’s given me a new purpose with my photography.
I want to inspire and motivate people with my photography. I want to evoke emotion and to hear people say “Wow!” when they look at my work. I’m very humbled when people feel motivated enough to buy my photography because it moved them so much. With my new website, people now have the opportunity to buy a quality product direct.
In conjunction with the new website launch, I also created a Facebook page for my photography, for people who want to connect with me without necessarily asking to be my 'friend' on FB, or who don't want to see all the rubbish I post on my personal FB profile :)
