Hi, I’m Rog…

• Principal Photographer (+marketer, bookkeeper, IT guru and chief bottle washer) at ArtyJ 🙂
• Travel Junkie
• Beer Connoisseur
• Classical Music Lover
• Amateur Genealogist
• But most of all… A madly passionate photographer!

Since 2007, I’ve shot over 650 Weddings & Elopements (including in the Hunter Valley, Newcastle, Central Coast, Port Stephens, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra, Milan, Tuscany, Venice, Amalfi & Santorini), nearly the same number of eShoots, Propasals and Family Portrait Shoots, as well as over 150 Corporate & Commercial assignments.

My working style is pretty laid back, chilled and relaxed, and I’m based in the beautiful Hunter Valley in NSW. That said, I travel extensively and always love having new places to shoot.

Standard travel area includes the Hunter Valley, Newcastle, Central Coast, Port Stephens, Mudgee, Sydney & the Southern Highlands.

Not to brag… but I even have some awards!

• Silver (1 of them) – 2018 AIPP Australian Professional Photography Awards
• Silver (1 of them) – 2018 AIPP NSW/ACT EPSON Awards
• Bronze (3 of them) – 2013 EPSON International Pano Awards

• Bronze (1 of them) – 2012 International Loupe Awards
• Bronze (1 of them) – 2012 EPSON International Pano Awards
• Bronze (4 of them) – 2011 International Loupe Awards

I really should enter more… Trouble is, I’m too busy shooting for clients.
