At one point I decided to borrow my dad's camera and tried to\u00a0photograph some of the things that fascinated me. I wasn't very successful but\u00a0the experience stayed with me and a few years later I bought my first \u201cserious\u201d \u00a0camera and started photographing in earnest.

I first got into photography while travelling abroad and visiting many breathtaking natural locations. I really wanted to be able to share some of these moments with friends and family back home, and photography became my way of doing so.

As well as the obvious mountains, lakes and meadows. \u00a0And I also go further to say you can shoot macro landscapes of the natural world, a minute landscape you could hold in one hand wit...<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"page-list-ext-item\"><div class=\"page-list-ext-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.landscape-wizards.com\/home\/guests-of-honour\/seeking-balance-an-interview-with-darwin-wiggett\" title=\"Seeking balance: An Interview With Darwin Wiggett\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.landscape-wizards.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/Darwin_Wiggett-125x125.jpg\" width=\"80\" alt=\"Seeking balance: An Interview With Darwin Wiggett\" \/><\/a><\/div> <h3 class=\"page-list-ext-title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.landscape-wizards.com\/home\/guests-of-honour\/seeking-balance-an-interview-with-darwin-wiggett\" title=\"Seeking balance: An Interview With Darwin Wiggett\">Seeking balance: An Interview With Darwin Wiggett<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"page-list-ext-item-content\">Photography copyright\u00a0 \u00a9\u00a0 Darwin Wiggett.

Tell us more about how it all started.   \r\nI have always been into nature. Even as a small boy I wanted to be a \u2018forest ranger\u2019 or a \u2018mountain man\u2019. When I was in university studying to be a biologist I needed a camera to document my research. As soon as the camera got into my hand, something \u2018clicked\u2019 (bad pun, I know). I think the camera allowed me, as an introvert, to share what I saw in the world without me having to talk or draw attention to myself.
