The Natives
A portrait series of native Australian animals. Photographed in a contained studio environment, the resulting work is a collection of images juxtaposing the wild against the controlled. The purity of the backdrop magnifies the raw beauty of ‘The Natives’, with a hyper-realness that amplifies every minute detail. Bushfires have devastated Australia and destroyed the very habitats these animals once called home, giving new meaning to the studio setting as a representation of the void that has been left in the wake of the destruction.

Trick or Treat! How about some eclectus parrots?
It’s interesting to me that the females have the bright red coloring while the males have a more toned down green.

I’m currently volunteering at a parrot sanctuary in Australia, and as the owners have very little understanding of technology, I offered to try and make a few videos of some of our birds - first up, Lucky, our little baby eclectus.
(Ever work on something for so long you physically can’t bear to go near it again, only for technology to utterly mess you up? I created this on one computer, only to discover Movie Maker on said computer wouldn’t let me publish a movie, so I had to transfer everything to another computer that had no sound. ONLY to find that when I did, the music which I’d spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to sync up had completely messed up. I now have to figure out how to fix it on a computer that won’t let me listen to it T_T)
