Recorded levels of anxiety related disorders in 18 - 34 year olds is at its highest ever. We need to ask - are we really the most mentally ill generation? Or have medical advancements and psychological research enabled an increase in diagnosis? An extensive range of issues  such as stress over education, money, careers ad social issuesthat all affect mental health. However Millenials are also slightly obsessed with labels and self diagnosing their less favourable personality traits which could also affect the way mental illnesses are perceived in society. This image depicts the raw emotion of a panic attack in an attempt to help suffers feel more comfortable talking about it after seeing it in a public setting.

This image was taken at Lake Jindabyne after heavy rains in the spring of 2016. It is part of an ongoing series documenting the landscapes, architecture, recreation and infrastructure of the Snowy Hydro Scheme in New South Wales.

Descendants of mares and stallions brought to Australia by British settlers over 200 years ago, wild brumbies have survived the dry outback, snow-covered mountains and thick bushland regions.  Australia is thought to have the largest population of wild horses in the world, however, the future of the brumby in the Snowy Mountains in New South Wales is uncertain. In order to protect fragile alpine and sub-alpine environments, the state government is implementing a 'wild horse management plan' that aims to cull 90% of the brumbies over the next 20 years. An emotive and complex issue that divides the community.

Prolific Instagrammer Lara Verheijden holds her presence with conviction; she is herself and is neither shaped by society nor exhibits for the sake of showing off. She is so comfortable in her skin it is almost as if she grew up in a cave without the media and opinions to shape her identity. Yet, at the same time, she is empathic and aware, an unusual combination in someone so young. I didn’t choose to photograph Lara because of her harelip, but because I of her spirit and rawness as well as her confidence and infectious humour.

As an artist in residence in December 2016 at a hotel on Cabarita Beach on New South Wales’s far north coast. I was struck by the region's raw beauty and moved by the spirituality of Mount Warning as an ancient epicenter of indigenous life. Here Mount Warning is depicted in a local mural near Murwillumbah.

Life in a hospital is easy during the day: you wait for the next IV to finish, for the next result to be delivered, for the next visitor to pop in. But the night always comes and with it, silence. The lights dim down, everyone is quiet and you can hear your own breath. You can hear your own fears. At night, my father told me he would close his eyes, quiet his mind, shut his pain away and imagine he was sleeping at home, on a lazy Sunday morning.

Landscape can offer more than sense of space; it can also present a context in which stories are told. As a film director I tell stories with fixed beginnings and ends. This image  is part of "Invitation to Story", a series that subverts this paradigm. Landscape becomes a canvas for an untold story, inviting us to participate in its creation and to consider the question of whether the author or the observer owns the narrative.

Such a curse is constant beauty, When it surrounds us everyday, We whine we can’t see the forest, For the tress are in the way.

This image from the series ‘Tokyo Is Yours’ is set in Japan post the Great East Earthquake of 2011. In a quest to understand the earthquake, tsunami and consequent nuclear disaster that unfolded and it’s proximity to Tokyo, I travelled through Fukushima province by train passing railway stations in the middle of empty fields where towns once stood. In some places long grass grew out of the fertile grounds now also fed by the sediment of the sea and the life that preceded the disaster.
