I am a Documentary Photographer and a Civil Engineer based in Sydney. While I grew up in Sri Lanka, I spent 9 years in California, a year teaching English in South Korea, a year backpacking across Europe and Asia, before migrating to Australia in 1998.

I love many genres of photography but my favourites are aerial, portrait, landscapes and travel photography. See my website Narratives4Change for more info about the projects I am passionate about, my work and my book, Fate or Destiny: Living Life with Passion.

I have always loved writing but discovered my passion for photography while volunteering as a Conservation Photographer in South Africa during a sabbatical in 2010. That 10-month journey culminated in a voyage to Antarctica.

I love discovering places that are off the beaten track. I draw my inspiration from the natural world and the sense of freedom and adventure I find in the people I meet while travelling. I have pursued my dreams with courage and love inspiring others to do likewise. My travels and the people I have met along the way have helped shape the person I have become.

People have always lived by stories. These narratives have defined our morality, belief systems and behaviour. My goal at Narratives4Change is to document, photograph and craft stories of a more resilient and regenerative future. Our individual stories of struggle and change point to emerging social narratives of renewal, inclusivity and harmony with the natural world. By sharing these stories I hope to build momentum to enable a shift in how we collectively see the world.

I run a TownPlanning Consultancy with my partner @Steven Liaros. Visit our website PolisPlan for more details of what we offer, our work and our media engagements.
