Wildlife/Nature photographer Gary Meredith

In his early years growing up on a large farm within the Wheatbelt located in the South of Western Australia, Gary had access to wide-open spaces, fresh air, and ample opportunity to discover, explore, observe and fall in love with nature.

That love of nature is still there, even after moving to the city as a teenager and with all the distractions that come from having so many new things to do, Gary always loved to stop, take a deep breath, and soak up anything nature was happy enough to reveal.

As a husband and father to two beautiful children, Gary enjoys passing on the knowledge he has learned from his own experiences and hopes they will enjoy nature in all its different forms.

After buying a camera to take on a family holiday to the Canadian Rockies many years ago, Gary knew he had found a way of capturing and presenting the beauty of nature to a worldwide audience. Please come with us on a journey so we can show you nature images presented as art.
