Award-winning photographer, based in Pottsville NSW.

Adversity, and the stark reality that life really can be short led me to a place where I questioned everything.

For the longest time I had this deeply hidden, and passionate desire for a life beyond the daily grind. This growing restlessness and discontentment with 9-5, led me to sell my house, quit my job, and pursue a long held yearning to explore photography and creativity.

On the Northern Rivers coastline I re-discovered the inner quietness, and solitude of those early hours before sunrise on the beach.

As the sun rose, I challenged myself to capture the beauty unfolding before me through a camera. It was in this quietness I began to notice things I’d previously never seen and began to connect to nature through the lens. Friends and family loved the pics I was putting on social media and encouraged me to go further. 

So I fumbled and stumbled my way through backing myself to take my photography to the next level, sometimes one step forward, 2 steps back. And what you see now is damianKdesigns in the making!  A friend told me about the Brunswick Heads Simple Pleasure photo comp so I entered a pic, and bugger me I won the adult category!

Some pics aren’t all polished and fancy as they should be, but some have even amazed me as I think wow, I took that!

Thanks heaps for checking me out, what you see now will be a work in progress for now, and forever.

Who knows where it will lead as I buckle up for the ride!
