I am passionate about our natural world and our environment. I am passionate about looking beyond the consensus human perspective and seeing that there are countless other perspectives, equally as beautiful and equally as valuable. I am passionate about beauty … about bio-diversity … about photography!

One of the greatest joys of macro photography has been taking photos of bugs. To see their perfection down to the tiniest detail, to interact with their extraordinary intelligence and sentience is always awing and always a privilege. I can see beauty in a small bug on the lid of the garbage bin. It knows I am there and we engage in a ‘conversation’ of sorts. It is also so very clear that it does not wish to be harmed.

But I am not just a macro photographer … the world is a fascinating place … I see birds and clouds and sky and flowers and animals … I feel a thrill at seeing a bandicoot or a koala … and grab for my camera …
