Matt Krumins’ nature and wildlife photography dives into the depths of the ocean, the remote corners of natural landscapes, and the heights of the sky. His goal is to share the more hidden side of the world, encouraging others to get out there and experience the lesser seen parts of our planet. Over his 20 year career his achievements include photographic ambassadorships presenting across the Asia pacific region, collaboration with government tourism bodies as both a photographer and trainer, as well as taking out the 2022 Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year award in the monochrome category. Since 2016, he has been imparting his photography knowledge and passion through photography workshops held both locally and internationally. His commitment to teaching is evident in the glowing feedback from participants, as he simplifies photography concepts for all levels of photographers.
