Steve Parish Books:"As a kid, I spent as much time as possible exploring the natural world around me and discovering all I could about these special places and the amazing animals that live there. I found that taking photos was a great way for me to "capture" an animal and keep it so I could study in close-up what it looked like and how it behaved.
Years on I'm still just a big kid who loves getting out in Australia's wild habitats and taking photos. I hope that through my photographyyou too will discover more about the great outdoors and be inspired to get out there!"
- Steve Parish.
