Hi, my name is Richard Bales; I’m from Melbourne, Australia. A bit of my background history, my mam is Brazilian and my dad is Uruguayan, I was born in Sydney but them when I was 5years old my parents decided go back to live in Uruguay. I lived 15 years but In 2001 I decided move back to Australia – Sydney to play professional soccer which after a year I had a bad injury and for personal reason I had go back to Uruguay ,but in 2003 I came back to Sydney ,them later on in 2010 I moved to Melbourne. Since I remember as kid I’ve always been devoted by animals and photography. Back in Uruguay I’m still remember my dad getting mad on me taking his canon camera spending to many pictures rolls taking pictures of my dogs. Even worst one of my uncles have a big farm at north of Uruguay border with Brazil and I was going along with my camera every year after finish school or high school for a month or more and spending every single day riding horse and taking pictures of every single animal I think that was my first call devoted to animals and photography. its what I love the most ...WILD LIFE AND PHOTOGRAPHY, because when I’m doing it... I feel free.....
