I first 1 (visit) Western Australia for work in 2013. I fell in love with it and have been back six times. Some of my favourite photographs
2 (take) there. Western Australia is extremely beautiful. The Kimberley region,3 particular,is unique and untouched. As 4___
photographer,I love the bright light,red rocks,green plants,blue-green waters and blue skies. I enjoy 5 (photograph) animals,such as dolphins and kangaroos. I also use my photography to make an impact on people,6__________(especial) when it comes to environmental issues. Today I’ve been photographing a crocodile 7 (swim) close to our boat all day. When I post the picture online,I will make a comment about how bad 8 is to feed wild crocodiles. This crocodile is used to passengers 9 (throw) food from boats and now she is becoming familiar with humans. Over time,this could make her a danger to people living in the area. If I can do something 10 (make) others aware of the problem,then that’s part of the solution.
