Behind the Lens
Lewis Burnett is a wildlife tour guide and photographer based out of the South-West of Western Australia. His passion for our natural world shines through in his photography and hopes that by guiding guests through intimate experiences with nature, he can enable a closer connection to our planet's most vulnerable environments and species.He has been lucky enough to spend extended periods of time over the last few years photographing and guiding in areas such as Kakadu, Ningaloo, Red Centre and the South-West of WA.
His photography has been recognized on an international stage, with recent achievements such as the Australian Geographic Nature photographer of the year portfolio prize awarded in 2023 and the Sony Alpha Awards grand prize and nature category winner in the same year.
Lewis has focused his commercial work in the direction of partnerships with NGO’s and environmental groups across the country working to help conserve the vital ecosystems that we are privileged to have access to here in Australia.
He believes that bridging the gap between art and science is an important link to help visually communicate the hard work of often unseen projects to a wider audience, ultimately helping shift public opinion and leading to a positive outcome for our last wild places.
