Bio
“My generation has made many mistakes. We borrowed this planet from you, and we’ve done it great harm and destruction. Giving it to you now, we’re ashamed. It’s not as we would wish it to be. You are receiving a beautiful planet that is damaged and wounded. We are sorry.”
About Jon
Jon McCormack is a photographer whose work is deeply informed by his upbringing in the stark, untamed landscapes of the Australian Outback, where early life among sheep and cattle fostered a profound respect for nature’s rhythms of resilience and fragility. Beginning as a teenager photographing quiet, often-overlooked moments in the bush, he developed a photographic voice rooted in patience, attention, and ecological empathy. Today, his images explore the intricate patterns and emotional textures of wild places, seeking to inspire both wonder and a sense of responsibility, and are widely published and used by global conservation organizations to advocate for the protection of fragile ecosystems.
In addition to photography Jon is also actively involved in conservation and social good organizations. He is a member of The Explorer’s Club, a founding board member of Sealegacy, and co-founder of The Kilgoris Project.
Jon’s recent publications and exhibitions are listed on his News page.
