that provides shelter and food for rays,
corals, over 500 different species of
fish, and many other creatures such as
this beautiful green turtle (3).
Has your photography changed
since travel restrictions have been
in place?
I have had the opportunity to explore
closer to home; often even right from
my window, and have been very
fortunate to watch many beautiful
sunsets and document an abundance
of wildlife right outside my window.
Where would you like to visit when
moving around gets easier?
I am very much looking forward to
exploring Australia more. I will be
forever enchanted by the colours in
Yawuru Country in Western Australia.
My best advice is to
remember that we have
the capacity to be creative,
adaptive and resilient
regardless of our abilities
or equipment
What would be on your ultimate
wish list to photograph over
the next five years if you had
the chance?
I would love to explore projects
which focus on the intersection of
traditional knowledge and science. I
am also deeply interested in creating
immersive experiences through the
use of photography, film and sound.
of our abilities or equipment. One
of the greatest pieces of advice I
have ever received myself was to
find a way of working that works
for you. That said, in terms of my
best kit recommendations, for me it
would have to be the E-M1 Mark III,
40-150mm F2.8 PRO and 25mm F1.2
PRO prime lens.
What advice would you give to
someone starting out in your field?
My best advice is to remember that
we have the capacity to be creative,
adaptive and resilient regardless
