While Matt’s focus is often the dramatic landscapes of the North West, Allysha tends to be driven by the serene and playful natural of marine animals and settings.

How did you get started as photographers? MD My enjoyment for photography started when I was travelling Australia in 2010. I had a compact camera, which I upgraded in 2012 to a DSLR. It was moving to live in Broome in 2013 that fully ignited the passion as the landscapes in the North West are dramatic and vibrant and the weather here lends itself to the outdoor lifestyle. AC I first got into photography back in 2012 when I started photographing things around me on my phone, especially little things like how the waves hit the sand or the details on tiny shells. Then I decided in 2013 to get my first camera and see what I could learn and capture from there. 26
