Meet Shelley
Hello, I'm glad you're here. I am an enthusiastic bird and wildlife photographer who enjoys being outside and teaching others what I know. I have more than 15 years of experience and enjoy assisting others in their quest to learn more about birds, wildlife, photography, and conservation. On my website, I showcase my work and offer resources for other photographers and nature lovers. I hope you find inspiration and useful information here, whether you're a novice or an expert photographer.
When I first fell in love with photography, I started out doing well, winning prizes at the Perth Royal Show, including the People's Choice Award. Since then, I have received numerous honours and recognition, including shortlisted for ANZANG, UK Bird Photographer of the Year, and winning 2018 Birdlife Behaviour Award from the Annual Birdlife Photography Awards.
I also am honoured to be part of the judging panel for the Annual Birdlife Photography Awards 2023 (Australia).
Speaking engagements, workshops, trips, and a variety of other opportunities are just a few of the ways I love to expresses my love of birds and other wildlife.
Passion. Light. Creativity.
