Hello I’m Dave and I’m the zoo photographer.
I photograph the zoo animals, zoo staff and the zoo grounds for use by the Adelaide and Monarto Zoo. The images appear in zoo publications, on the zoo website and in any media the zoo uses to promote the animals and conservation.
Some of the photographs were easy to capture with the animal doing exactly what I needed. More often than not though the animal would look away or stand when I needed an animal sitting or sitting when I needed the animal standing. Who was it that said 'never work with animals'?
Having said all that I have been very privileged to be close to and interact with some amazing animals both large and small, exotic and animals native to Australia.
Over the coming months I will talk about the experiences I have had in photographing the animals at the Adelaide and Monarto Zoo. I will try and convey some of the joys and problems with photographing the animals at times but always highlighting how amazing and beautiful the animals truly are.
