Ein Naturforscher wird zum Künstler
Ich nutze Fotografie und Kunst, um das Bewusstsein für die Schönheit und Zerbrechlichkeit der Tierwelt in unserer unmittelbaren Umgebung zu schärfen.
Ich hatte bereits Einzelausstellungen in Australien, Deutschland und Finnland, und obwohl ich ursprünglich aus Sydney, Australien, stamme, verbringe ich die meiste Zeit auf Reisen in der ganzen Welt.
Artist Statement
If people could see nature through my eyes, they would love and want to protect it as much as I do. My art serves as a bridge between nature and the viewer. Through it—sometimes accompanied by writing or included in my presentations—I strive to bring nature to the viewers and deepen their connection to it.
​
I frequent places that anyone can access: the backyard, a roadside tree, or even a wasteland near a construction site. I immerse myself in these environments, waiting for any sign of life—a flying bird, a jumping insect, a lizard. By following their patterns, I learn to anticipate their movements. Only then am I ready to capture them with my camera. With each movement so fleeting, faster than the eye can see, every photo becomes a surprise.
​
Once I have captured a photo, I listen to what it wants to become. Sometimes it wants to remain a photograph; other times it asks for a complete transformation. Since the purpose of my images is to bring people closer to nature and evoke a sense of wonder, the tools and techniques I use are merely vessels to achieve this goal.
