SIMONE CULL

Simone Cull Photography is a journey into the soul of wildlife—where light, shadow, and emotion intertwine to create timeless fine-art imagery. Through high-contrast monochrome and evocative colour, Simone captures more than just animals—she reveals their presence, intelligence, and connection to the world.

Each photograph is a sculptural composition of emotion, inviting viewers into an intimate encounter with nature’s raw beauty. Her work transcends traditional wildlife photography, transforming each subject into a storyteller of the wild, evoking contemplation, admiration, and deep connection.

Giving Back to the Wild

Each artwork created under Simone Cull Photography carries a responsibility beyond the frame. The creatures captured through the lens are not just subjects of admiration — they are beings whose futures are deeply intertwined with our own. To honour them, 20% of every sale is donated directly to wildlife conservation. This ongoing commitment supports critical efforts to protect endangered species, preserve wild habitats, and ensure that the soulful presence of these animals continues to inspire, thrive, and endure.
In this way, every piece of art becomes a gesture of gratitude — an investment in both beauty and the survival of the wild.

About the Art

Simone Cull Photography captures the profound interconnectedness of wildlife, nature, and humanity through the sculptural depth of black and white, and the evocative warmth of colour—each chosen to reflect the emotional truth of the moment. Her work moves beyond the surface, revealing the emotional intelligence of animals, their souls, and the deep connection they share with us.

Each image offers a moment of stillness—a space to become lost in the gaze of another being, to feel the serenity of the wild, and to experience emotions that transcend species. It is a journey of the soul, a place of solace and renewal, where the heart finds rest and the spirit is restored.

Simone’s artworks are offered as original and limited-edition pieces, created without Photoshop or Lightroom manipulation—preserving the purity, honesty, and emotional truth of each captured moment.

Artist Statement - Simone Cull

My wildlife photography is an emotional journey into the souls of animals, capturing their intelligence, depth, and connection to the world around them. I strive to go beyond the physical beauty of nature, revealing the raw emotion, mood, and presence of each creature. Through my lens, animals become more than subjects—they are storytellers, each with a unique spirit and energy.

Whether it’s the piercing gaze of a predator, the quiet wisdom in an animal’s eyes, or the gentle vulnerability of a fleeting moment in nature, my goal is to transform wildlife photography into an intimate conversation between the viewer and the wild. My use of light, contrast, and composition aims to amplify emotion, often lending a painterly or sculptural quality to my images.

Whether in striking black and white or vivid colour, my work invites people to see animals not just as part of nature, but as sentient beings—with emotions, personalities, and stories worth telling.

Reflection

As Roman philosopher Marcus Tullius Cicero once wrote, “The face is a picture of the mind as the eyes are its interpreter.”

It’s a sentiment that speaks to the heart of my work. In every portrait, I’m drawn to the eyes—not just as a feature, but as a passage. They reveal more than expression; they offer a glimpse into thought, feeling, and presence.

To photograph wildlife is to be invited, silently, into that space. A moment of recognition between species. A quiet knowing. A portrait not of appearance, but of being.

About the Artist

Simone Cull is a self-taught Australian-based wildlife and nature photographer with a lifelong love for the wilderness.

With a science degree majoring in ecology, Simone has always been drawn to the natural world. From as early as she can remember, she has felt a deep connection with animals—seeing them not as subjects, but as friends and neighbours.

Animals have always made her feel understood. To sit quietly and observe their behaviour, their mannerisms, and their presence creates a pathway—an unspoken connection of understanding.

In those moments, everything else fades. The stress of everyday life disappears, and there is only stillness.

To truly be still… to observe… to allow yourself to simply be.

Animals sense this. They feel it. And in that quiet understanding, a connection opens—between our world and theirs.

This is what Simone’s photography is about:
The connection between us. The soul of the animal. The life of nature and our existence within it.

When we see into their world, experience their world, our souls are lightened.

Beyond the Lens

Simone is a…

🐾 Devoted mother to her fur baby, her diabetic schnauzer Iggy Wiggy, and her adopted border collies Bernard and Sasha.
🧘‍♀️ Yoga lover who finds balance in movement and breath.
☕ Long black with a splash of soy kind of person—because no day starts without coffee!

As a self-taught photographer, Simone is always learning—through practice, through presence, and through doing.

Her ethos is simple yet profound:
✨ Conscious. Creative. Conserve. ✨

Every photographic piece sold contributes to wildlife conservation.

Reflecting the Heart of the Work

Each piece carries a weight beyond the image — a captured life, a feeling, a purpose.
There is a quiet acknowledgment of the emotional depth, ethical creation, and conservation commitment that lives within every artwork.

I believe that the wild souls who inspire my photography deserve to be honoured beyond the frame.
A portion of every sale is returned to wildlife conservation — ensuring that the true subjects of my art, the animals themselves, are both celebrated and protected through the work they inspire.

Through every limited edition and original artwork, my goal remains simple: to offer collectors not just an image, but an emotional connection to the natural world — and a way to contribute to its preservation.
