Nurturing Nature, 2024. Photographic print on canvas.

I am a nature photographer living in Mildura, Victoria, and my aim is to capture the majesty of the natural world and raise awareness about environmental conservation through my work. With the project Nurturing Nature, my hope is that it’s going to highlight the mesmerising nurturing qualities of nature and its constant unconditional loving presence.

Research shows that even just viewing nature photography can have calming and stress‑reducing effects. My goal with this project is to capture the tranquillity of the outdoors to enhance wellbeing and to inspire and support environmental initiatives. I am optimistic that these pictures can stand as examples of the intimate connection between nature and humans, and how powerfully intertwined we are in nurturing each other.
