TITLE: The Watcher

This gorgeous Yellow-spotted Monitor (Varanus panoptes) was enjoying the sun and surveying the landscape in a remote part of Western Australia. I felt so privileged to see it and take this beautiful photo that I converted into black and white to convey more emotion.

Ever since a family trip to New Zealand when I was 18, I have had a love of photography. I particularly enjoy wildlife photography and have in recent times began to experiment with black and white. As a Conservation Biologist, I am especially passionate about the natural world and photography allows me to showcase it's quiet and often unrecognised beauty.
