After continuing his career in England for two years, in 1960, he emigrated to Australia, where he worked as a stills photographer in the movie industry. He established his own studio, taking on consignments for leading companies and advertising agencies, which included overseas projects. He also freelanced for the Australian Tourist Commission and eventually worked as a photographer at Macquarie University before retiring. His work has been published in Australia and overseas. One of his most iconic images is his portrait of Jørn Utzon, the architect of the Sydney Opera House, taken in 1965.
