Hi there…

I am Antoinette Koutsomihalis, an International Award Winning Fine Art Landscape Photographer from Sydney Australia.

With a Bachelor of Arts Welfare Degree and a lifelong artistic practice grounded in observation, emotion, integrity and depth.

This space is more than a portfolio-it is a place to land, to feel and to breathe. Through my photography I invite you into to the deeper stories of the natural world, honest, intuitive and shaped by lived experience.

Whether you are here for visual wonder, emotional resonance or a moment of stillness….

Welcome …..come walk a little further into the quiet..

Namibia : Journey of diamonds and dust part 1

Namibia was on my travel bucket list for a long time, and it became a goal to make my 7th continent.

After going back to Antarctica fell through, I messaged Sarah and let her know that our planned trip to a secret location after I did Antarctica again as a do over had to change as I wasn’t going back to South America. I asked her if she would like visit Namibia with me and it was a complete yes let’s go. We were both so excited and I knew from Antarctica that we would get along amazing on a trip together. We talked for 5 hours the first call so excited- planning and prepping for our girl’s self drive photography adventure.

The amazing journey begins…
