Zac de Silva

Growing up in a home among the gum trees meant that Zac’s childhood was filled with trips into Sydney’s bushland. Now, although the trees don’t tower quite as tall and that backpack doesn’t seem quite so heavy, he tries to capture that child-like wonder by constantly exploring new places. In his down time, Zac can be found stacking it on any number of mountain bike trails (no, those falls never stop hurting) or trying to get the perfect sunrise shot in an obscure corner of Australia’s national parks.
