Hi I’m Chris, thank you for visiting my site.

I was born and raised in Perth, Western Australia. The ocean has always been a special place for me, though I grew up almost an hour away on the outskirts of the city, I was always encouraged to get out and explore.

My journey into photography began completely by accident in 2005. I was studying graphic design at Tafe hoping to start a career in visual effects. Though I struggled with the graphic side of things, one class I excelled in, Photography. It came naturally to me, and in 2007 I switched majors and began my journey, eventually graduating with an advanced diploma in 2009.

Over the years, photography remained more of a passion rather than a career, but life eventually got in the way and I didn’t pick up a camera for a long time. In 2021 I had a life changing event unfold and my world was turned upside down.

Photography started to come back into my life as a way to escape with the ocean playing a part in discovering my Serenity, I eventually started blending the two together and my instagram handle “capturing my serenity” was born.

Through my camera, I aim to capture the raw power, beauty and serenity of the ocean and its surroundings, from large landscapes, to small abstract details, and everything in-between.

My photography doesn’t just stop at landscapes, I also am also passionate about capturing Surf Action photos, if you’re a surfer and would like a private session, please fill out the contact form below for quotes (Surf page coming soon with examples and prices)
