About the Photographer

Meet Alison Lee Rubie, an award-winning Australian photographer and wildlife advocate. Her stunning work has been recognised in prestigious competitions like the Mosman Photography Awards 2024, Crikey! Magazine Cover Australia Zoo competition 2023, and the Australian Photographer of the Year (Black and White portfolio) 2023. Alison's love for wildlife, which began in her youth, blossomed into a full-fledged career over the past decade. A transformative trip to Africa in 2013 inspired her to create "Lobby for Lions," a social media movement dedicated to wildlife conservation.

Starting her photography journey with a humble Canon 600D, Alison quickly honed her skills and now teaches wildlife photography. She leads immersive tours to Africa, showcasing its natural beauty while mentoring others in the art of photography. Though she also photographs portraits and weddings in Sydney, her passion remains with wildlife photography. Over the years, Alison has captured Africa's Big 5, elusive creatures like pangolins, and the diverse landscapes of Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Victoria Falls, Mauritius, and Madagascar.
