TALIA GREIS
“I want to reproduce beautiful moments in nature”
Born in the coastal eastern suburbs of Sydney, NSW, Talia Greis’ appreciation for ocean life exploded while learning to scuba dive.
“Understanding the rich diversity and abundance of our country’s underwater world flipped a switch that made it essential for me to take a camera below the surface as soon as possible.
Capturing the colours and complexities
Talia wants to be able to reproduce some of the fine moments that nature has to offer, but also to be able to completely understand for myself, the true colours and complexities of what I had been witness to.
Leafy seadragons are hands-down Talia’s favourite part of the Great Southern Reef. “They are simply stunning creatures “
On guard
Recently Talia visited Tasmania, where she was fortunate enough to find several male spotted handfish.
“I was extremely lucky to find 3 females guarding their nest of eggs. My time with them was only cut short by my inability to move my fingers in the balmy 11 degree water. Absolutely fascinating critters.”
Looking ahead, Talia wants to focus on human impact and the way we affect our oceans.
