I went back to the West Indies to visit family and I borrowed a friend’s camera, I shot several rolls of film and decided that this was for me. That was 25 years ago, and in that time,  I have travelled the world with a camera in my hand. I've been known to set an alarm for 3am to then drive to THE spot, set up and wait for the light to be just right. I have also been known to make people feel at ease within seconds of being in front of my camera. Whether your event is Black Tie, or you want to get your feet wet with an Underwater Portrait Session, I can help make your occasion with me both enjoyable and memorable with a bit of fun thrown in for good measure. I am the Secretary of the PPAQ, the Professional Photographers' Association Queensland, and enjoy spending time with other Professionals as well as helping develop amateurs and enthusiasts who want to develop their skills with their camera. http://stampfli.photography/
