Steve Parish Publishing

An Evening with Steve Parish

The Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland and Steve Parish Publishing are proud to collaborate to help raise funds to provide conservation outcomes for wildlife throughout Queensland. The two organisations have worked together for many years to educate Australians about the Sunshine State's vulnerable wildlife and to foster a greater understanding of and connection with our native fauna. Now, they have joined forces again to bring wildlife lovers and photography enthusiasts An Evening with Steve Parish at the Palace Barracks Cinemas, 61 Petrie Terrace, Brisbane, on Friday 26 November 2010.

"There is a nice synchronicity between my work and the excellent work that the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland does in helping conserve Queensland's wonderful wildlife," Steve enthuses. "I have dedicated the past 50 years to photographing this continent and am always astounded by the beautiful wildlife we have here in Queensland. But it is alarming just how vulnerable some of our fauna really is, particularly in the highly developed South-East Corner. I started Steve Parish Publishing primarily to educate, and the Wildlife Preservation Society does a great and very necessary job in educating Queenslanders and visitors about our native animals but also in raising funds to ensure future generations of Queenslanders will continue to help conserve our wildlife. I'm thrilled to be cooperating with them again in a year that marks my fifth decade of being on the road photographing wildlife."

This year is the milestone of Steve's fiftieth year photographing this continent, and his presentation will showcase some of his favourite wildlife photographs as well as the changing landscapes and habitats of Australia over half a century. Anecdotes, quips and tips on how to photograph animals will also delight photography enthusiasts. Tickets cost $35 and doors open at 6.30 pm for canapés and a chance to meet and greet. Proceeds from the event will help support conservation and wildlife education initiatives of the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland. Book signings and the opportunity to chat to Steve and Wildlife Preservation Society staff will follow Steve's speech. Book online at www.wildlife.org.au, email wpsq@wildlife.org.au or telephone (07) 3221 0194.
