Leslie is an amateur nature photographer, born and raised in New Zealand and now based in Canada. She lives in a small mountain town in BC where she's able to peacefully capture images of wildlife almost entirely undisturbed by other humans. Her main priority whilst out in the wilderness is respect for the environment, both landscape and animals within. Everything you see from her is ethically and mindfully photographed.
She was recently awarded the title of category winner in the Canadian Geographic Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2025 and took home the Journal of Wildlife Photography's big prize for their Animalscapes themed competition in 2022.
