ABOUT ME
Hey! I’m Naomi and I’ve been spoilt to call Australia home and had the opportunity to explore the vast and dramatic landscapes.
Growing up in the rural area of the Northern Territory I experienced wildlife in abundance. We weren’t shy of green tree frogs finding their way into the toilet or a snake helping itself to a few eggs from the chook pen. As a kid, we spent plenty of time outdoors swimming and riding bikes with dirty bare feet while exploring and creating our adventures.
Finding my way into photography has been a slow burn. As I start to reflect on it I can remember Dad's boxy old Canon which mind you was state of the art back in the day, and there was Mum’s thick blue digital camera that took 2x double AA batteries. At 15 years old I was gifted a red Olympus waterproof camera which saw some sights, like swimming in the warm tropical waters of Vanuatu. It's seen the rolling green plains near the Russian border and it also seen the bottom of a long drop toilet in Mongolia somehow it survived to see a couple more years after that.
Over the years spending countless hours outdoors traveling Australia, NZ and other parts of the world it was only natural to have a curiosity towards the creatures that live there. I love being outdoors and taking the time to slow down and notice all the birds chatting high above or spotting little bugs crawling around on sticks or branches. Recently my passion was set on fire from a trip to Africa as we spent hours and hours each day searching, watching and photographing animals.
Bringing us to this present day I have found myself drawn to capturing wildlife and landscapes surrounded by natural lighting and forever changing weather across the landscapes.
Through my work, I hope to inspire others to appreciate and protect the natural world and spend more surrounded by it.
