Sean has over 20 years experience working as a director in the film industry. His work has spanned music videos, films, documentaries and TVCs and more recently photography. 

Nominated for multiple ARIA Awards for best music video Sean has worked with some of Australia’s most acclaimed and beloved musicians including Silverchair, Missy Higgins, Birds of Tokyo, The Living End, The Sleepy Jackson and Gin Wigmore. 

His films have won accolades and screened internationally including at Screamfest LA, Flickerfest Australia and FilmQuest USA. His feature documentary Fantome Island, premiered at The Brisbane International Film Festival and won Best Australian Film at the Human Rights, Arts and Film Festival and screens regularly on NITV and SBS On Demand.

While filmmaking took the lead, photography has always been a constant for Sean, ever since his introduction to 35mm photography and a dark room at film school.  In more recent years photography has leapt into the foreground seducing him all over again. 

Now Sean lends his cinematic eye to portraiture, striving to capture a moment that layers meaning and emotion to create a compelling story, to create  something greater than the sum of the parts. He has photographed many beloved Australian filmmakers including Wayne Blair (The Sapphires), PJ Hogan (Muriel’s Wedding), Angie Fielder (Lion), Ben Young (Hounds of Love), Stephen Lance (My Mistress) and YouTube comedy stars Crackermilk. Much like cinema there is no greater story told than in a close up of someone's face.

Sean’s strong interest in social justice issues has guided much of his work as a filmmaker and a photographer - from directing the feature doco Fantome Island to his photo journalistic approach to documenting rallies for Free Palestine, Black Lives Matter and Invasion Day. Sean’s documentary photography of the Black Lives Matter rallies was short listed in the 2020 Australian Photography Awards. 

Sean lives in Brisbane where he also shares his wealth of experience at the Griffith University Film School and The Queensland School of Film & Television, lecturing in  directing and writing, and mentoring film productions from script development through to post-production.
