Hiya! I'm Kate Newman ⏤ a wildlife & conservation photographer from Melbourne (Naarm), Australia.

My photography journey began at the end of 2020 when I picked up my first secondhand Sony camera during our intense Melbourne lockdowns. I have been around wildlife my whole life and have always thrived in creativity, and one day felt the urge to combine those two things to see where it could take me. I took the opportunity to teach myself as much as I could & practice photographing the species in my backyard, and quickly discovered that this was a passion of mine that I knew I had to pursue.

Since the beginning, I've dedicated every spare moment to honing in on my craft and I'm unbelievably grateful for how quickly things have snowballed. In the space of just a few years, I went from not knowing how to shoot in manual, to having a full-time career in wildlife photography; teaching workshops, featuring in magazines, working with wonderful brands and conservation organisations, and selling my art across the globe. 

The goal of my work is always to showcase the beauty of the wild through visual art and facilitate a connection to the realities of our natural world. It's an honour to be able to do that with the help of Sony!
