Rocky Simachila is a Zambian-Australian photographer whose unique multicultural identity shapes a deeply compelling and globally minded visual portfolio. With one foot in the red dust of Australian and the other in the rich soil of Zambia, Rocky uses photography to explore the universal threads connecting people across different continents.

 

His love for cameras grew around the late 90s when he worked for a safari company in South Luangwa National Park as a waiter and a spotlight operator during night game-drives.

​

His original idea behind composing photographs was to try and write a book about his encounters with wildlife on game-drives. He bought himself a point-and-shoot Vivitar Camera and away he went.

 

He feels absolutely lucky to have accompanied great photographers on safari, and from these experiences he picked up great basic principles of photography. 

​

Trading the safari tracks for the rugged landscapes of Australia, Rocky channels his deep guiding background into capturing stunning wildlife photography across the country's iconic national parks while working as a park ranger.
