Nikon-Walkley Press Photographer of the Year
Nick Moir specialises in documenting meteorological and environmental events such as storms and bushfires. Here he has captured significant moments in Sydney, western NSW and the USA by combining his expertise as a photographer with his skills as an amateur meteorologist and his service as a volunteer firefighter. Many of the images in this selection were possible due to his own research, and some to his own funding.
Nick Moir is chief photographer at The Sydney Morning Herald, where he specialises in severe weather, bushfires and environmental events. He has won three Walkley Awards, including the 2002 Nikon-Walkley Australian Press Photographer Of The Year.
Judges’ comments:
“With a diverse range of beautiful photos across every genre, the judges couldn’t fault Nick Moir’s portfolio selection. With strong images of portraiture, sport, current affairs, and the environment – they are the whole package, and underline his technical skill and experience. Moir visualises climate stories like few can – and it’s notoriously difficult to photograph a platypus.”
