“For the first time, I will delve into what makes photography so special to me and reveal the profound connection it has to conservation, and to my dad’s life and legacy,” he said.
“This is more than just a celebration of Australia’s natural splendour, but a story of the role photography plays in conserving our planet.
“I am honoured that I have the opportunity to allow each and every one of you to bring home a little piece of this great southern land.”
