Our native environment is at the heart of our photography and we place a very high value on being sustainable and supporting other Australian businesses too. We ensure sustainability through the following:
Minimising our footprint when we photograph. We take care with biosecurity risks to ensure our photography doesn’t introduce weeds, pests or other biosecurity risks into our native and rural environments.
Where possible we use biodegradable packaging and carbon offset deliveries.
We use an Australian based print and frame workshop in Melbourne Australia, supporting the employment of Australian people and using Australian materials.
Our frames are produced from locally-sourced Victorian ash which has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. FSC certification provides the highest level of protection for rare and endangered forests and wildlife of any existing forest certification scheme and is the only system that mandates consultation with local Indigenous Peoples.
We print to a 300gsm 100% cotton rag, which is considered the most environmentally of photographic paper as it uses no tree fibres, instead it is produced from a recycled by-product of the textile making industry. While the cotton industry itself has much to answer for, as this is a by-product, it is considered to have low environmental impact as no cotton is grown specifically to make the paper stock.
