Georgina Steytler, one of Australias most gifted wildlife photographers, is passionate about birds and conservation. In this stunning collection of her work over the last decade, her poetic images portray birds as individuals, each with a character of its own, an intelligence and beauty to be admired, a mystery to be solved, a skill to be envied and each with a unique, and deserved, place in this world. An ethical artist who believes in treading lightly on the earth, she practices and describes the art of low impact photography which doesnt distress wildlife or disturb natural behaviours. In For the love of birds, youll get to know some of Australias 830 species of birds in a series of beautiful and powerful images that will reconnect you with our natural world and inspire you to notice the wonderful birds all around us.
Georgina is a self-taught Australian wildlife photographer, specialising in native birdlife. She produces images for use by conservation organisations across Australia, as well as teaching the art and ethics of bird photography through workshops, talks and articles. In 2018 she became the first Australian woman to win a category in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year, the worlds foremost nature photography competition.
