steveaxford's popular People photosI have recently moved to live near Booyong in northern NSW, Australia. I explore the Australian bush (when I can), climb volcanoes (also when I can) and generally photograph anything and everything that interests me. I occasionally work for VolcanoDiscovery (www.volcanodiscovery.com) and occasionally sell photographs. My photographs have appeared in many textbooks and reference works plus numerous other things from Japanese fungi exhibitions to Wind Surfing books, from jewelery designs to knitting magazines (not sure if I should admit to that one). My photography is mainly of the natural world but also includes travel and people photography in places like Indonesia or other parts of Asia and the world in general. I have presented on macro photography at the 2008 Australian Photographic Society conference.
