HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH WILDLIFE ETHICALLY 🌍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Keep your distance! This photo was taken from 15+ meters away using @sonyalpha 100-400mm (at 400mm focal length) 🐨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Don’t bait, feed or attempt to attract wildlife... Try to go unnoticed and forever let them be WILD 🌾
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— No chasing, yelling, petting or disturbing their natural behavior for a photo. Never ever interfere.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— AVOID FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY. And avoid spotlighting an animal that is vulnerable to predators... Light can affect their vision and their chance to escape.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Never alter vegetation or habitat (never ever).
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Don’t invade their privacy! Stay away from nests, dens, resting areas etc. An animal’s home is their refuge 🥺
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Learn about the signs of stress so that you can be aware of their warning signals/when it’s best to leave.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Be aware of the rules and regulations of National Parks and protected areas.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— If using a drone, still. keep. your. distance. Drone users chase/frighten animals far too frequently 😣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Take extra precaution with endangered species. Sharing the location of an animal that is heavily exploited can quickly put them in danger.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Always portray your subject accurately; don’t make a monster if there is no monster there 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Be TRANSPARENT about how the photo was taken. Ethical wildlife photography doesn’t stop once your camera is put away... The story you tell matters too!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Ask yourself: Am I aiding conservation? Or am I hindering it? 🌱
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Aurora Borealis — magic caused by something as simple as the interaction of different particles ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let this be an example of what we can do when we connect & unite our human differences... We can create magic too 💚

Wildlife and the power of nature; 2 of my favorite things bundled into a scene I will forever cherish 🐘⚡️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— My goal this year is to capture more moments that make you fall deeper in love with this planet we call home... Here’s to hoping 🤍

Here’s to...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s to another year of great learning and unlearning. A year of more time spent within the depths of nature. A year of amplifying the voices that are too often silenced. A year of fighting for what’s right, even when it feels most uncomfortable...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A year of less self doubt and more self love. A year of less comparison and more infinite celebration. A year of compassion and empathy, rather than hatred and fear.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A year of looking up at the moon and getting lost in the sea of stars. A year of living in the moment, not in a screen. A year of endless adventures, no matter near or far. A year of consuming less, and playing so much more. A year of deeper connection, no matter the distance between 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here’s to 2021, another year of taking care of ourselves, of each other, and of this beautiful planet we call home...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— No one knows what this year will entail, but don’t forget to stay hopeful friends 🌎✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📍 Taungurung Country

Tiny frogs the size of my fingernail 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nature is full of wonders that often go unnoticed... Don’t forget to look closely, friends ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The sheer power of nature 💧 Here’s to hoping that we can soon rekindle our connection to the natural world ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(I know that it’s an incredibly difficult time for so many right now, but please know that my inbox is always open... Sending you so much love and virtual hugs 🤍)

Moonrise amongst the trees 🌜✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Travel is something that was stripped from all of us this year, but making a habit of looking at the moon every day gave me a sense of adventure; the excitement of seeing its ever-changing phases.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love you Luna, thank you for grounding me despite being thousands of miles away 🤍

Himalayas from above 💫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
DID YOU KNOW: 1 in 5 people on this planet depend on the fresh water that flows from the Himalayas... This mountain range is home to thousands of plant and animal species of which 163 are globally threatened.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These mountains are an essence of life; the climate crisis has already impacted the lives of 240 MILLION people who live amongst these peaks...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If we want to enjoy the Himalayas, we must treat them and this planet with our utmost respect too 🤍

Despite living in Australia since the day I was born, it still took me 25 years of life to see a koala in the wild...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was a moment I will bottle forever 🐨✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Don’t forget to be careful on the roads! If you see a koala (or any wild animal) in harms way, make sure you stop and ensure they get to the other side safely 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
📍Gadubanud Country

Remember, the people you admire were once beginners too 💫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Comparing my work to others is something that I (and I’m sure a lot of you) regularly struggle with... But it helps me to remember that ALL of my favorite photographers, creatives, and conservationists alike, were once at this exact same stage too.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Try new things, explore your craft, and do not give up ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This was one of the very first photos taken as a total beginner in 2016, and I have continued learning ever since... You got this 🤍
