A bit about David:

David Stowe been a full time professional photographer for almost 30 years, photographing mostly people, however his love of photography started with nature and the environment.

Whilst Sydney is home, his heart is constantly drawn to the bush or outback in search of rare and beautiful birds, and the sense of peace that being in nature brings.

His photographic career has seen him win numerous awards including the overall winner of the Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year, and three time winner of the AIPP NSW Nature Photographer of the Year.

He also achieved a double Master of Photography with the Australian Institute of Professional Photography.

A critical and creative thinker, David has had the immense honour and pleasure of being part of the judging panel at the state and national AIPP awards, as well as the Birdlife Australia Photography Awards.

His current passion has seen him become focused on education and teaching others about photography and how to get better images of birds and wildlife. In 2017, he and great mate Henry Cook, started Flock Wildlife Photography Tours to further that vision.

His ultimate aim is for his images to bring joy and inspiration to people and show the importance of protecting our natural history.

David will be treating us to a talk titled “Composition: The Art of Seeing” at the conference.
