Megan grew up in Brisbane, Australia. Not content with a suburban existence she always dreamt of adventures afar.
At the age of twelve during a family road trip across the United States, a stop in Santa Fe opened her eyes, so that she would never view the world the same again. She was struck by the intense colours and beauty of the landscape, and it was here she first felt the deep desire to record what she saw. The camera would remain firmly in her hand for the rest of the journey.
Megan’s passion for photography and travel continued to develop. At sixteen, while wandering the cobblestone streets of Sicily with her camera, the inspiration that came from seeing life on the other side of the world, confirmed that photography was the path she must follow.
As soon as she was old enough, she enrolled in a Bachelor of Photojournalism at Griffith University’s, Queensland College of Art. Upon completion of her degree, renowned UK war photographer, Tim Page, who inspired Dennis Hopper’s character in ‘Apocalypse Now’, asked her to accompany him on a photographic journey to Cambodia. They would document the Peace Art Project Cambodia, an EU initiative that gained international acclaim.
Since then, Megan’s work has taken her around the globe. Megan’s innate ability to make her subjects feel at ease almost immediately has led her to ride with the Hell’s Angels, traipse the Sahara desert with a family of nomads, jump into crocodile infested waters with Aboriginal children and stage fashion shoots in the streets of Paris and Berlin.
Megan’s work has been exhibited internationally and her clients and publications include: Asics (Onitsuka Tiger), Sony BMG, Qantas, Triple J Radio, ABC, General Pants Co, Rolling Stone, Harper’s Bazaar, Oyster, Yen, Frankie, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, The Big Up (USA), The Times (UK), Hamburger Eyes (USA), Clash (UK) and Lodown (DE)
