About Chris Bell

A passionate naturalist, Chris has been photographing wild places and wild things for over 30 years.  He is a deeply committed conservationist and was a founding member of both Australia’s Wilderness Society and the Tasmanian National Parks Association.  He has had 5 books published of his photography and writing, the most recent being The Tarkine.

“It is crucial we re-establish our reverence of Nature and regain an understanding of its workings if there is to be any future for humanity.
I want to present beauty as a worth in itself, and for that beauty to act as a conduit to a new affirmation with the natural world which we so desperately need to establish.”

Chris works largely with a Linhof Technikardan 4x5” camera.
