My name is Michiko Kimura, a casual photographer born in Japan and now based in Australia. My photography journey began during the global pause of COVID-19, when travel became both an escape and a way to reconnect with the world. What started as simple curiosity quickly grew into a deep passion for capturing the moments that often pass unnoticed. Through landscapes, wildlife, and travel photography, I try to preserve the quiet beauty of nature and the character of the animals I encounter. Photography has become my way of documenting the world with honesty and feeling. I continue to travel, explore, and create beautiful photography
