After a stunningly successful 2019, Caron shares
the boost of having a supportive female network
Caron Steele
I don’t derive even 10 per cent of my income
from photography, as I have a wedding venue,
conference centre, office rental and holiday
accommodation that I run.
That said, I believe my standard of
photography is good enough to be
‘professional’, having received multiple awards
in 2019, including winner of 2019 Amateur
Photographer of the Year, winner of Bird
Photographer of the Year and several other
smaller commendations.
I mainly shoot wildlife images, although as
I’m still learning I’m constantly experimenting
with other genres. I want to bring the beauty
that can be found in nature, even in the
harshest of environments, closer to the viewer
so they grow to love and respect the naturalworld as I do. Changing people’s outlook will
change the way they behave and hopefully
make the world a better place, where we all
start respecting nature and stop exploiting it.
There certainly seems to be more male
photographers out there – particularly in myI think that is our strong point – women
talk, ask questions and share ideas
