The very last day of 2022 ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— A few of my favorite photos from the last 365 days. The most wonderful year full of adventures, honing my craft and meeting the most amazing people along the way.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me this year, whether that was through purchasing a print or a calendar (I can’t express how grateful I am), or simply through your kindness on this wonderful little app. I’m so thankful that you’re here 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope you all have a magical 2023 💫

Thank you so much for 10k 🥺🫶🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I remember reading a quote one day (which I can no longer find) that spoke on how social media has convinced us that our followers and likes are never enough, but if that amount of people were to come up to us and compliment our work, we’d probably be very overwhelmed… And ain’t that the truth 💚
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
10,000 may not seem like much to some, but that’s a whole lot of people to me. I’m so grateful for each and every one of you ✨ Thank you for supporting me as I celebrate nature 🌿

A moment of connection frozen in time 🦁
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— One of the biggest teachings in wildlife photography is the act of patience. In order for animals to truly connect with you, you need trust and respect… 2 things that take a whooooole lot of time 🤍

The magic of Aussie birds ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— 1 in 6 of Australia’s bird species are threatened with extinction due to growing threats like climate breakdown, habitat loss and predation by invasive species 🥺 It breaks my heart because I truly believe that our abundant, vibrant, and often very noisy birdlife is one of the most special parts of this country…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember that protecting the life in the sky protects the life on the ground too 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS. All 3 of these are available as prints 🥰

Wonky tusks 🐘
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— In the same way that humans are left or right handed, elephants are similarly left or right tusked 🥹 They each have a ‘master tusk’ that they prefer using for their daily tasks like digging, gathering food, stripping bark and lifting objects. You can often tell which is their dominant tusk as it will be slightly more worn…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I guess we’re a little more alike than we think? ✨

A series of painted dogs 🎨🐕
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Although they are technically neither a wolf nor a dog, those that work with this incredible species often prefer that they be called “Painted Dogs” (or their scientific name of Lycaon Pictus) as the common name of “African wild dog” can quickly portray them as feral animals, rather than a keystone species that desperately needs protecting.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They’re beautiful animals, and a true honor to witness (PS. the one in the front of the first image is pregnant 🥹)✨

The 2 images that made me fall in love with wildlife portraits 💚🌿
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Although I’ve always loved and appreciated wildlife, photographing them wasn’t always a passion of mine. I was originally a writer (it started with travel and slowly progressed into conservation) but when everything slowed down in 2020, I spent so much time photographing the incredible fauna in my backyard, and very quickly discovered that THIS was my path. I found myself connecting more with nature than I ever had before, so I decided to *try* and turn it into something bigger — creating art that inspired action 🤍 I’m not 100% sure if I’m succeeding in that but I’m certainly enjoying trying 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is also my entry for @sonyalpha.anz #sony12daysoflenses6 🦘✨

Swipe for the up close and personal 🤍👉🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— Fun fact: Male vervet monkeys are easy to distinguish due their BRIGHT blue private parts 🔵 They even change shade of blue depending on their social status (eg. the alpha’s have darker nuts) 🙊
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
African fauna really is something else ✨

The largest bill on Earth 🎣
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
— The most handsome Australian pelican I ever did see… He posed on the pier for 10 minutes, showing off his bill that can hold 13 liters of water 💧😨 It sure is a beauty ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Tiny creatures in a very big world 🐸🐞🐝🦗
