Tegan Wood

My name is Tegan Wood I am 21 years of age, and absolutely love film & photography. When I first fell in love with photography I was a child. I always wanted to capture moments throughout my life & the world around me. I began taking photos when I was a teenager. I become enriched in my environment and began taking photos of particular life events & occasions.

At the beginning of year 12, I became obsessed with taking photos anywhere and at any time there was an opportunity. I was faced with a death of a very close friend that same year. I then found comfort in capturing nature and society. As I felt so far from reality the images brought me to life, and reminded me of how raw this world is. I believe I deserve to be chosen, because I have a longing to capture other cultures and environments. I wish to show the world a story outside of my own. I feel compelled to capture particular moments, cultures & creatures, to convey the meaning of diversity. To also convey the history & story of the location, it’s indigenous people and native animals through my photos.
