In the quiet spaces between the breath of the wind and the rustle of the leaves, a vibrant world exists on wings. This collection is a departure from the studio and a deeper journey into the wild heart of the South West—a personal project dedicated to its most elusive and enchanting residents: its birds.
Here, patience is the primary lens. These images are not merely captured; they are earned through stillness, observation, and a profound respect for the subject. It is an attempt to move beyond simple documentation and capture the fleeting essence of avian life: the keen intelligence in a New Holland Honeyeater’s (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae) gaze, the delicate perfection of the Splendid Fairywren (Malurus splendens), the silent authority of an Australian Pelican (Pelecanus conspicillatus) stalking its prey.
This is a celebration of the feathered souls that share our home, from the bustling backyards of Donnybrook to the remote, ancient forests of the Warren.
