'LOCAL BUSINESS THE HEARTBEAT OF EVERY COMMUNITY'

Esther Beaton Wild Pictures

Hungarian-born Esther Beaton came to Australia as a child, grew up in Canada and the United States, and finally returned to settle in the country where she remembered “picnics under the gum trees and cockatoos in the backyard”.

She initially took up photography as part of a bird-watching hobby, but it soon led to a career as a government-employed wildlife photographer and later to commercial work.

Presently situated outside Sydney in tranquil Pearl Beach, she makes several trips a year into the Outback to bring back nature features and stock photos for her clients around the world.

Esther Beaton was awarded Australian Geographic Photographer of the Year in 1997 for her feature Some Truths About Cane Toads. Esther served as Chairman of the New South Wales committee of the Society of Advertising, Commercial and Magazine Photographers (ACMP).

She feels Australia's landscape and wildlife have a truly unique beauty, and she has a passion to to share her exciting discoveries with as many people around the world as possible.

Esther Beaton conducts Workshops and Day Safaris for photographers and nature lovers.
