SIOBHÁN (SHIV-ON) = IRISH NAME
HELLO! WELCOME!
If you are are here to view my images and check out my photography rates please click the links below:
I started out photographing portraits of fellow creatives and designers for press-kits and event posters in Melbourne in 2008. In 2009 I travelled back to Europe as a camera-happy tourist, fully realising my passion for photography I returned to Australia committed to working on photographic projects. Since then I have built up a varied portfolio of portraits from many creative collaborations.
Whilst freelancing for community arts organisations in South Australia in 2014/15 I found my groove professionally, utilising my hard skills as a photographer and a highly organised administrator whilst also being able to employ much of my broad soft skill set.

I blog regularly from this site and in my posts you will find images taken on my Nikon DSLR, a point-and-shoot camera and also my phone-cam. You will find images I have taken for my work and for my family album.
The blog is also where I share news and updates about CORELLA, a musical project in collaboration with my partner Jeremy. You'll find work inspired by womanhood and notes about living with the condition Endometriosis. On the blog I also share my love of the homemade and the handmade! I believe creativity is one of our primary human capacities, yet many folks don't think of themselves as creative. Expressing myself creatively, WITHOUT TRYING TO BE PERFECT, leads me to experience a 'flow state.' As psychologist Rollo May put it: 'Self-expression is most often accompanied by a feeling of shimmering joy!’ And so, I also craft and I enjoy documenting my process with my hobbies of paper-craft, memory-keeping and 'craftivism.' On this site you will also find posts about conceptual abstract projects. Drawing and painting were my first creative hobbies and after a decade I feel recharged to have a daily abstract-painting practice in place! STAY TUNED & CHEERS FOR STOPPING BY!
