It is such an honour when my photos are published in one of my favourite magazines. I am attracted to publications that are stylish, environmentally conscious and full of awesome content.

I have made a treechange, packing up life in Inner City Sydney, to move up the coast 400km to the beautiful little coastal town of Crescent Head. Up here, life rolls by at a different pace. I have time to kick back with a beverage at dusk and watch silhouettes of kangeroos bounce across the pink horizon. The mornings greet me with layers of dawn bird songs over the gentle purr of the ocean: a welcome change from the roaring engines and rattling windows that once awoke me as jets landed at Sydney Airport. I don’t mind missing out on conveniences like cafes, restaurants and late night grocers. Like when travelling, you learn to adapt to a new environment quickly, just because you have to. You embrace it, and truly appreciate it when you stumble upon something you love. Now up here on the Mid North Coast, I will be basing my photography studio in Port Macquarie, as well as focusing more on international photo work, and continuing shooting in Sydney. I’m really looking forward to connecting with people here in the Port Macquarie and Crescent Head areas. In a region bursting with entrepreneurs, and where local business dominates, […] Read More

This March, James and I met with Cuba’s female surfing population, all two of them. Lorena is the only female bodyboarder in Cuba and Yaya is the only female stand-up surfer. These passionate women inspired us to write their story about what it’s like to live and surf in a country where educated people live off government rations, surf shops don’t exist and waves go unexplored because people don’t have cars or gas to get to them. Here’s the article from this months Surfgirl Magazine, available in The UK and Europe. Read More
Photos by Alicia Fox Words by James Galletly Cuba may not be well known as an eco-travel destination, but its eco-credentials, like its musicians and cigars, are first class. In 2006, the WWF’s Living Planet Report named Cuba the only nation on earth achieving sustainable development. This big claim was based on Cubans having a high standard of living (assessed via levels of health, education and GDP) and at the same time maintaining a sustainable Ecological Footprint….

My Article in EOS magazine EOS magazine is a great photography publication coming out of the UK, focused on the technical side of photography and specifically of Canon EOS cameras. I wanted to write an account of my experiences volunteering in Latin America, thinking it would appeal to EOS readers.

I was really pleased to receive an email from Angela saying “Very many thanks for your contribution. I must compliment you on your fantastic pics, sparkling, well-targeted copy and generally getting everything to me on time and in sensible order. You made my job very easy!” I put a lot of effort in to making the article as polished as possible, so it’s so nice to hear I could make Angela’s job easier. Here is a copy of the article. …………….

Antony Ledezma Mendin & The Bethlehem Youth Club – A photo shoot for Opportunity Nicaragua When Antony was eight years old his parents divorced, and his family disintegrated around him. Antony’s mother is Costa Rican, but his farther is Nicaraguan. When the family broke down Antony’s father returned to Nicaragua, forcibly taking Antony with him. They moved to the Nicaraguan Capital of Managua and shared a house with Antony’s grandmother. Life at home was tough, and the family relationship was strained. Antony rebelled. He fought with his father and grandmother, who also fought with each other. At a young age he began experimenting with drugs, smoking and drinking, by 12 he decided living on the streets was better than at home. He ran away. Antony lived on the streets with a group of friends. They stuck together and protected each other. To get money they would steel whatever they could, sometimes visiting local farms to rob fruit and then sell it on the street. As he got older, the group of friends developed into a gang; drugs and gang related violence became part of life. Antony looks back on his past drug use with open honesty, recalling “I was crazy, […] Read More
Following the devastation in Japan earlier this year, Blue surf magazine (Japan) asked artists to contribute to a special Hope issue, in an effort to lift the spirits of their readers who were affected by the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster. I feel honored to have a photo of mine included in the Hope issue. I took this photo during my six month in Japan in 2009. I feel that this beautiful boy, Aki, is perfect representation of the pure and beautiful people that live in Japan. I hope the people of Japan continue to move forward, despite what they have been faced with, and shine as I know they can. Read More
When I first read about the Kuna Yala indigenous people in the San Blas Islands, I knew I had to visit the islands to photograph them. In all descripitions, the people and the landscape sounded visually stunning. The Kuna women hand-sew their vibrant outfits with tropical patterns and elaborate designs. Their arms and legs are adorned with colourful beads in traditional patterns that imitate designs that used to be painted on their skin before missionaries taught them to wear clothes. The location they call home is over 300 idyllic islands in the Caribbean Sea of Panama, the most picture perfect place I have visited in my life. Many of the inhabitants are nomadic and move from island to island collecting coconuts and selling their clothing, designs and beaded jewelry to tourists. I shot a series of photos for Atmosphere magazine, an in-flight publication for Canada’s Air Transat. The photos are in the current (July-August) edition. Read More
