Through the Lens:
A Journey of Passion
J
ose is a photographer based in Sydney, in love with nature's power and mesmerised by its endless changing beauty. He truly believes his photography is a complex visual representation of his feelings, resulting in greatly determined images of his emotions when pressing the shutter.
He is always willing to push boundaries to capture those unique scenes, of the raw untamed wilderness, that the world has to offer. Although capturing those moments can be daunting and scary sometimes, facing these challenges leads to a deep feeling of being alive and develops an emotional connection with those elements and scenes that surround him at that time.
As an educator, Jose feels grateful for the opportunity to share his knowledge and passion with others. Through his workshops and teachings, he helps others discover their own love for photography and helps them hone their skills and develop their personal style so they can experience the same joy he feels when he's behind the camera.
His work has been featured in esteemed publications such as National Geographic, Forbes, and The Guardian, and he is always striving to inspire and engage others through his photographs.
