About Vanessa Pike-Russell / Vanessa Pike-Russell  

Photography is an important part of my life. Ever since I can remember I have loved capturing precious moments. My Grandmother was always taking photos on her many adventures and her passion for photography seems to have rubbed off onto me.

I have a stock photo account with ozstock images, fotolia and gekko images and sell prints and cards through Redbubble.

My earliest photographs were portraits of friends and family. I enjoy freezing a moment in time, capturing images that are fun and full of expression. I am available for local photosessions and product photography.

Some of my most interesting photos

I created the following groups: Illawarra Groups





Illawarra Restaurant Reviews - restaurant and entertainment reviews of the Illawarra (Wollongong and Shellharbour areas)

Nan Tien Temple Group - an amazing place to visit. I'm not buddhist but you don't need to be to appreciate the serene surrounds, cultural significance and museum. The largest buddhist temple in the Southern Hemisphere.

University of Wollongong - I live very close to the university and have studied on and off since 1991. One of the prettiest campuses in Australia.

Definitely worth a visit! Across the road is the Wollongong Botanic Gardens

I'm an admin at New South Wales Group
New South Wales is a very diverse and beautiful state.
