A Fine Art Approach to Bird Photography

My background as a underwater photographer strongly influences the way I photograph birds today. Years spent working below the surface taught me patience, awareness, and an appreciation for subtle, fleeting moments — qualities that translate naturally to bird photography.

Rather than chasing action, I focus on:

• Clean compositions

• Natural light

• Calm, uncluttered scenes

• A sense of place

The result is bird photography that feels timeless and contemplative, reflecting the quiet beauty of Mandurah’s Peel-Yalgorup Wetlands
