A passionate naturalist, Chris Bell has been photographing wild places and wild things for over 30 years.
He came to Tasmania from country NSW in 1972 to join the campaign to save Lake Pedder from destruction and has remained here ever since.
Through the lens of his camera, Bell captures patterns and traces in the landscape and blurs the lines between wilderness photography and art photography.
His work casts a spotlight on vulnerable places and threatened species to bolster conservation efforts.
“It is crucial we re-establish our reverence of nature and regain an understanding of its workings if there is to be any future for humanity." -- Chris Bell
