Meet the Photographer
Hi, I'm Maree, a photographer based on the beautiful South Coast of New South Wales.
My passion for photography began in the late 1980s when I encountered my first whale. At the time, I owned a small film camera that simply wasn't capable of capturing these magnificent creatures from the shoreline. That experience sparked a desire to get closer to the wildlife I admired and inspired a journey that would see both my equipment and photographic skills evolve over the years.
What began as a fascination with whales developed into a broader passion for photography, encompassing marine mammals, nature, landscapes, and the unique beauty of the Australian environment.
Today, I specialise in marine mammal, nature, and landscape photography, combining patience, observation, and a deep appreciation for the natural world. I have also expanded into drone photography, providing a new perspective on the landscapes and coastlines that inspire my work.
Through my photography, I hope to share the beauty, wonder, and diversity of the natural world while inspiring others to appreciate and protect the environments and wildlife that surround us.
More than three decades after seeing my first whale, I remain inspired by the natural world and the endless opportunities it provides to observe, learn, and create.
Photographic Equipment
My equipment includes a Canon 5D Mark IV and a range of lenses, including a 150–600mm telephoto lens that allows me to photograph marine mammals from shore-based locations. This capability has also enabled me to contribute to marine mammal research through the collection of photographic identification images and observations.
