Col Ellis is an Australian Institute of Professional Photography Master of Photography. He lives in Canberra, Australia, from where he runs his studio and gallery. Best known for his superb landscape imagery, Col also photographs wildlife, nature, and studio still life. Canberra is a perfect base for environmental photography, as it is within a two hour drive of the Australian Alps, the south coast of New South Wales, or the wonderful rural and natural landscape of western NSW and Victoria. Southern Australia also reflects the spectacular changes of the four seasons, with the floral displays of spring, the changing colour of the leaves in autumn, and the frosty snowfalls of winter.
