Tasmania is the island-state south of the Australian Continent, and about one-half of its land are crown lands mostly managed as National Parks. Tasmania lies almost equidistance between Antarctica to the south and the equator to the north. I am an Argentinian nature photographer now living and working in Tasmania, and greatly enjoy exploring the wide variety of National Parks with my camera.
The wide variety of terrain – mountains, lakes, forests, ocean waters, pounding surf, sand beaches, towering sea cliffs of black volcanic rock- provide a multitude of photographic opportunities. Tasmania’s weather is always changing – brilliant blue skies, black rain clouds approaching, gray drizzle, and white sleet and snow. On some days, one can experience all of this weather in one day.
I studied photography for eight years in Argentina, and now enjoy practicing the art of nature photography. I am particularly interested in landscapes and wildlife because I think that showing the nature world through my lenses is one way to collaborate to fight against the destruction of our natural treasures. As a global traveler, photography is the best tool that I have for share the amazing places that I have been, but also is a bridge that allows me to go deep in the meaning of our relationship with the planet. Being in middle of a peninsula, watching the sea from a cliff, walking in a forest or waiting for the sunset in a mountain and watching the milky way at night from a beach are invaluable gift that I want share with all the world.
One of my favorite National Parks here in Tasmania is Tasman National Park, located in south Tasmania, 70 min driving from Hobart, the capital city. Tasman National Park covering 107 square kilometers, is an amazing place full of wildlife like wallabies, wombats, Tasmanian devils, possums and many others. This spectacular environment also shows fascinating rocks formation and 300 meters high sea cliffs that provide incredible views. For those who like physical activities there are many walking tracks. The coastal track has side tracks to three different capes – Cape Pillar, Cape Raoul and Cape Hauy, stunning corners of the park’s peninsulas.
Because of the pandemic, I am trapped in paradise in Tasmania. Luckily I have a job managing a dairy farm with 1,000 cows. On my days off, I grab my camera gear and head off to a new and wonderful National Park, looking for the perfect mixture of light, weather, rocks and water. I am a lucky young man exploring the world.
