About John
Hi! I’m John and I love the outdoors and photographing nature. In particular, I enjoy creating images of wildlife, and when the creatures are not cooperating, I try capturing their environment. I’m Australian, and have had the pleasure of living in several countries in the Asian/Oceania region such as Papua New Guinea, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and Thailand. I have also visited most countries in the region. I currently live in Nagasaki, Japan, however I often travel to Australia and Thailand for photography as well as R&R!

Canon EOS 7D
