Ruth Collins Photography
My Background
I started photography as an excuse to get out and explore Sydney and very quickly became hooked! I'm inspired by the love I have for my home city and, with it's beautiful mix of beach and city life, there is always something unique to photograph. There's a picture around every corner.
Photography as Communication
Living in Australia I am lucky to be surrounded by natural beauty. I use my camera to document the world and then print images with a focus on the beauty I find in daily life. I love sunrise and sunset photography when the light is at it's most magical.
Sharing Stories
Through my prints, gifts and photo books, I invite you to bring the essence of Australia into your life and home. These photos will enable you to treasure a piece of Australia without taking anything away from it’s natural beauty. By taking only photos and leaving only footprints the stunning natural environment of Australia will be preserved for future generations.

Bush Fire Haze
With bush fires burning across most of NSW this summer there has been a constant haze across Sydney's skies. The smoke haze has cloaked the sky and dimmed the sun most mornings giving some beautiful but eerie sunrises. This shot was taken at Narrabeen beach.
