Pamela Pauline’s photographic artworks continue to examine Australia’s natural heritage. Fusing beauty with darkness (light and shadow), her work highlights the extraordinary beauty of Australian species while at the same time reinforcing the central theme of biodiversity loss.

Drawing entirely from living collections of threatened flora and fauna, these works sit somewhere within conceptual, staged and documentary photography, and encourage with urgency, the importance of recognising, conserving and recovering Australian threatened species.
