About Me
Hello! My name is Amy Mercer and welcome to my site!
Sydney, Australia
I'm a passionate explorer and visual storyteller dedicated to capturing the wonders of the ocean and the world from above.
My journey started with a GoPro Hero 2 and a love for the sea. I began snapping photos of Whiting & Bream to share with my family at our beloved holiday spot in Yamba. As a child, I wished for superpowers that would let me fly or hold my breath underwater. Through photography, I've been able to achieve both in a sense.
The ability to talk to animals however, I’m still working on.
As my curiosity grew, so did my quest for larger marine encounters, leading me to compile a thrilling bucket list of marine wildlife to photograph.
From the depths of the ocean to the heights of the sky, I've always been mesmerised by the hidden beauty that surrounds us. Aerial photography has granted me a fresh perspective, revealing the intricate details of our world that often go unnoticed.
Through my work, I strive to unveil the delicate allure of the ocean's ecosystem and advocate for marine conservation. Every image I capture is a testament to the urgency of protecting these precious environments for present and future generations. I firmly believe in the power of visual storytelling to spark emotions, forge connections, and inspire action. My ultimate goal is to instil a deep appreciation for our marine ecosystems and motivate others to join the movement in safeguarding them.
Join me on this thrilling journey as I continue to explore, document, and advocate for the preservation of our planet’s most captivating landscapes & enchanting oceans.
