Branch Happy - New Holland Honeyeater (Limited Edition Print)

This is a limited edition print and comes to you unframed and un-matted.

The New Holland honeyeater (Phylidonyris novaehollandiae) is a honeyeater species found throughout southern Australia. It was among the first birds to be scientifically described in Australia and was initially named Certhia novaehollandiae. As a Photographer, l love nothing more than surrounding myself and getting lost amongst nature. The challenge of capturing these incredibly fast little birds brings a sense of achievement and satisfaction. The one message from my Bird Series is that we need to plant more Bird-Friendly tree's like Nectar flowering trees and shrubs that attract Honey Eaters to our gardens, its the simple things we can do to help our Australian wildlife thrive for generations to come.

My love for photography has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Not like it is today but I always owned a camera growing up. Studying at the Photography Studies College in South Melbourne gave me a kick start and reignited my love for creating Art through my lens.

I still get excited about the power and magic of photography and its ability to let me capture my own unique perception of the moment in a form that I can share with others.

Whilst my photographic style varies, I am often drawn to the intimate and intricate details of Flora, landscape, Nature & Abstract Photography. My home studio is where I can get really creative often using a macro lens to capture the soft delicate floral tones, textures and structures up close.

My excuse for a road trip adventure is not only to go hunting for a photographic opportunity but to find that next best Coffee shop. Let's face it we are spoilt for choice with regional towns offering some of the best Food, Wine, Art & fashion. Living just one hour out of Melbourne, I am very spoilt for choice!
