Nature photography as a complimentary career to scienceNature and wildlife are my deepest passions in life. Since 2007 I have been relentlessly dedicated to photographing nature as I see it. Wherever I go I can be seen with my camera backpack looking for creatures to portrait through my lenses. This couples really well with my scientific career as biological understanding of nature goes a long way in portraying it, and my photography is often used in scientific publications. I designed two photography courses which I have been teaching twice per year for a few years now, as well as leading wildlife photography tours to places such as Borneo, Costa Rica, Galapagos, The Amazon, Cape York and Western Australia, though NatureArt Lab, and an art and photography school in Canberra, Australia. Photo by brother Angel Esquerré (a mega-talented professional photographer).
