Wildlife conservationist and passionate photographer Robert Irwin is thrilled to launch a photography book, celebrating conservation from behind the lens, and spreading the message of protecting wildlife and the natural world.
Robert Irwin’s Australia is a showcase of powerful imagery from Australia’s most remote, rugged landscapes, and the beautiful wildlife that calls it home. The book provides a glimpse into the pivotal role that photography plays in conservation, by sharing key environmental issues that the Earth faces.
“This book encompasses my passion for photography and my journey behind the lens. It illustrates how I have made photography my means to carry on my Dad’s important legacy and conservation message across the world,” Robert Irwin said.
“Wildlife photography allows us to appreciate the extraordinary world that we live in, and I hope that my book can encourage and inspire everyone to reflect on the collective environmental footprint that we all leave behind. It has never been more important to create positive change while our natural world faces immense challenges,” he said.
Robert Irwin’s Australia features stunning never-before-seen images as photographed by Robert, and includes a compelling forward by Russell Crowe, along with a wonderful welcome to country by the Kabi Kabi traditional custodian, Lyndon Davis.
“This is the first of a series of photography books which will be released in the next few years. It is locally made, and manufactured in the most sustainable means possible, supporting our eco-friendly initiatives that are already in place to reduce our carbon footprint,” Robert said.
Robert Irwin is an award-winning nature photographer who travels the world in search of incredible images to raise awareness for the environment.
Robert’s photos have been featured in photography galleries throughout Australia and in exhibitions around the world. Robert is also a judge for the annual Crikey! Magazine Photography Competition, and uses his passion and enthusiasm for photography to contribute to wildlife conservation.
In addition to this book’s worldwide release, an exclusive and limited edition release of Robert Irwin’s Australia will also be unveiled with 500 copies, including a signed edition, exclusive print and a personalised card, all placed in an Australian-made hand crafted box. Both Launch and standard editions are available for purchase anywhere in the world, Launch Edition only available while stocks last.
Proceeds from the sale of Robert Irwin’s Australia will go straight back to conservation, helping Australia Zoo and the internationally recognised charity, Wildlife Warriors, carry forward Steve Irwin’s legacy of saving wildlife and wild places.
Today, Robert, Terri and Bindi Irwin’s efforts honour the greatest Wildlife Warrior to have ever lived. Australia Zoo is continuing Steve’s mission of ‘Conservation through Exciting Education,” and Robert Irwin’s Australia will be principal in helping continue this mission.
