  Mick Jones Photography

  Mar 2022 - now

  Freelance Photographer

  Photography for me started late in life. And after spending 20 years in the Australian Navy and then working as an expat around the world I'm trying to make up for the missed opportunities. My passions lay with motorsport and action photography predominantly with vested interests in a range of other different genres. While motorsport is the driver for me, there's lots of things that spin off it. One of these is the people you meet and the opportunities that become apparent while interacting with them. The friends I've made, the conversations and experiences that photography has presented me in the last few years have been inspiring. It continues to excite me.I live in the Lockyer Valley in South East Queensland which keeps me 'close to the action' and available to service the needs of my clients conveniently throughout the region.
