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 and published nature photographers. He is a feature writer on nature photography and wildlife for various magazines. These include regular features on nature photography for Australian Photography and Wildlife Australia , as well as articles in Australian Geographic and the world-famous 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 is a sought-after audio-visual presenter at camera clubs across Australia, something he greatly enjoys. He was also presenter at two of the last three PSQ (Photographic Society of Queensland) Conventions. These were in 2009 (hosted by the Caboolture Camera Club) and 2010 (hosted by the Brisbane Camera Group).
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 bitterley-cold conditions, waiting for that elusive shot.
Trekabout Photography Workshops, a business he owns and operates with professional photographer and tutor, Mark Rayner, offer a wide range of photography workshops. They range from 3 hours duration to a week and are presented in stunning natural locations across Australia. For more details click here
