Disillusioned with commercial fishing I returned to Sydney where I assisted several professional photographers learning my craft over the years before opening my own studio. The next 30 years was all commissioned photography, working in various countries with all types of briefs eventually being categorised as an automotive photographer. My mindset changed as my direction was more focused on creating my own images which became the catalyst to launch my own stock library specialising in Backplates and 360º Domes aimed at the advertising automotive and transportation market. BearStock.com was born. After many years BearStock has now established itself in the global image stock market allowing my rejuvenated passion to engage once again on commissioned briefs and personal projects.
