Rodney Dekker's photostream

www.rodneydekker.com

I am a photographer with a passion for capturing stories that inspire change and education. My motivation has been shaped by an academic background in environmental science and international development coupled with a desire to document history and promulgate anecdotes from the marginalised. My most significant project to date has been to document the effects of drought and floods across Australia. This work has been published in major national publications and won me a number of awards.

During the coming years I'll be photographing stories of climate change globally to understand its consequence on civilisations and natural environments. If you can help, please feel free to get in contact with me. I need journalists, money, local knowledge, good times and conversation. But I'll photograph anything, so if you have a story that needs to be told or remembered, give me a yell. Rodney
