ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND PHOTOGRAPHER – PHOTOGRAPHS OF AUSTRALIA

You’re here, so I guess you’d like to know a little bit about me.

My name is Stephanie Jackson, and thanks for dropping by. I’m delighted to have the opportunity to tell you about my work, and to share my extensive collection of photos of Australia with you. (This site is in its infancy – being recreated after some malicious gremlins deleted my previous site and its hundred of photos of Australia so, and as I’m currently working on several new books and receiving some debilitating treatment for a rare form of cancer, it will take some time to add all the pictures that I’d like to share with you.

Photography and writing have been my passion and my business for many years, and as someone who’s addicted to these two wondrous forms of art, I find a day without a camera or a pen in my hand almost as enthralling as a wet weekend in a broom cupboard.

MY PHOTOS

During the many years of my work as a journalist and travel writer my articles and images were published in newspapers and magazines in countries around the world, including Australia, the USA, Canada, Britain, and New Zealand. My photos have also been used in advertising and packaging material, on calendars, on web sites, in television programmes, and in numerous books and magazines. It wasn’t until 2020 that I took a new direction and began to produce more extensive literary works, and since then I have produced six books, some of which relate to Australian wildlife, while others are on the topic of gardening. Hundreds of ,my images have been used to illustrate each of my books, which have been published by New Holland Publishers.

Now that you’re here, take some time to relax, sit back in comfort, put your feet up, and browse through the images in the site’s numerous and diverse PHOTO GALLERIES. Read the extracts from my books and I guarantee that it will be time well spent and that if you’ve previously been suffering from any hint of stress it will be vanquished from your life as quickly as an excess of mayonnaise dribbles from a sandwich.

I’m sure that a smile of pleasure will creep across your face as you gaze at photos of Australia that are as awe-inspiring and diverse as the Australian landscape itself, for here you’ll discover spectacular pictures of the outback, photos of colourful birds and unique animals in their natural habitats, and images of wildflowers that daub the landscape with their palette of gaudy colours.

You can enjoy a virtual tour of Australia’s spectacular national parks and beaches, explore meandering rivers and outback streams, or take a glimpse at some of this great continent’s sprawling cities and picturesque historic villages – and there are many more images to come with additional categories of photos to be added in the coming weeks. I hope that you’ll come back again soon – and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with what you discover here, now and in the future, as this site continues to evolve.

My books are available from bookshops and online retailers.

I pride myself not only on the quality of my photographic and written work, but also on the efficient service that I provide to business clients, to publishers and to private individuals who purchase my images, and I guarantee a prompt response to every enquiry.

I hope you’ll enjoy everything you see and read on this extensive and continually evolving site, and I look forward to hearing from you, but please remember, if you find errors relating to the creation of this website, and )’m sure you will, that I am primarily a writer and a photographer, not a computer nerd.
