About Michael
Michael Snedic has been an enthusiastic naturalist and lover of wildlife since he was very young. It wasn’t until his early thirties, however, that he decided to take up photography. By using a camera, he was able to “freeze” specific moments in nature forever and share these moments with others, through photos.
Michael is one of Australia’s most accomplished nature photographers and is widely published. He is a feature writer on nature photography and wildlife for various magazines. These include regular features for Australian Photography Magazine and Wildlife Australia Magazine as well as having been published in BBC Wildlife Magazine, the world’s largest selling wildlife magazine.
Michael’s photos have been displayed at the prestigious “Wilderness Gallery” in Cradle Mountain, Tasmania. He has published two books, the latest one titled WILDLIFE OF AUSTRALIA – a nature photographer’s journey, a 200 page coffee table book.
Michael has also presented many audio-visual presentations at photography conventions and camera clubs, something he greatly enjoys.
One of his photographic highlights was becoming only the fourth known person in the world to photograph the timid male Albert’s Lyrebird, while in full display. Michael sat daily in a camouflaged hide (blind) for seven weeks, in the freezing cold, waiting for that elusive shot.
Trekabout Photography Workshops, a business he created with Mark Rayner, offer half day, full day, weekend, and 5-7 day photography workshops in stunning natural locations across Australia. For more details visit www.trekaboutphotography.com
