Calumn Hockey (born 1992) living on Gumbaynggirr country; is a self-taught photographer, videographer and drone flier.
Over the past 9 years Calumn has based his works throughout Australia, South East Asia and New Zealand covering both adventure based sports and conservation projects.
The journey into the photographic realm began with a 6 month working trip to Uluru, where my passion for photography occurred. Soon I was off to the West Coast of New Zealand to immerse myself amongst the foothills of the Southern Alps to find the meaning of what an adventurer and photographer really is, and I still don’t think I know all these years later.
From the high Himalaya to the temples of Burma, Calumn has worked away capturing some truly breath-taking moments in both adventure and conservation and with no plans on slowing down, things are only just getting started!
