Words and images by Christine Ward

Based in Brisbane, Australia, Christine began her creative journey as a tattoo artist in 2011. Photography was a natural progression of her artistic talent, and in 2019 she branched out into photography.

She honed her skills by creating images that are enigmatic and chose to specialise in wildlife and nature.

Featuring a diverse range of imagery, it is birds and bats that are her true passions and she expresses her fascination with them by showcasing them in a unique, distinctive style that incorporates a melancholic atmosphere, whilst highlighting their unique beauty to captivate her audience.

She aims to highlight the beauty in the obscure, the mystique and magic of creatures that are often overlooked, aiming to shift negative perceptions of them by showcasing their enigmatic nature.

Immersing herself in nature, Christine invites you into her universe, where she aims to draw you into understanding her passion for the living world. Inspiring her viewers to take a deeper look at creation, evoking emotions and inspiring a greater appreciation she hopes her viewers will connect with the natural world on a deeper level.

In an age where the pressures of social media and technology can overwhelm our system, Christine believes that photography has the ability to connect us to what is important- both appreciating the creatures that inhabit the natural world and creating a space to connect to the self and practice mindfulness. Photography gives us the ability to live in the moment, bringing joy and tranquility to our lives. She is passionate about advocating for mental health and connecting to the deeper understanding of being able to unite with nature.
