Nathan Miller is a photographer from Gerringong with an appreciation for the beauty of the world around him. The night sky and the enchanting colours of dawn and dusk are evident in his work which shows his deep understanding of the interplay between light, colour and texture. By capturing the beauty of the natural world, Nathan contributes to the sense of wonder and reverence for the world that we inhabit.

Andrew has, since the age of 13 years been interested in photography, having had a “hand-me-down” camera from his sister.
He has been running his own Photography business since 2002 which then graduated to being a full time business from 2013, mainly photographing weddings and events. However, Andrew is now branching out into running Workshops on various subjects including storm photography.
Tonight’s presentation will be about what a storm is, how it presents and how to photograph it as well as how to process the images. Also some tips on staying safe.
We will of course have the privilege of seeing some of the amazing images that Andrew has captured over the years.
