Sydney-based photographer Cameron Mackie has notched up a few frequent-flyer points over the years.

Despite his clear talent for capturing stunning girls in luxury houses, South Sydney-raised photographer Cameron Mackie’s passion actually lies with shooting the desolation landscapes outside of Sydney’s hustle and bustle.

“Landscapes would have to be one of my favourite things to shoot, that’s kind of what I started with in photography. The simple beauty of an empty landscape without any external influences is pretty special to me. Plus it’s a momentary escape from the chaos of cities,” Cameron says.

Getting flown around the world to take photos is what Cameron reckons is the most enjoyable part of his job. “Simply getting the chance to travel the world doing something that I love and creating images people enjoy looking at. That’s all I really need to stay stoked,” says the photographer whose first camera was a second-hand Canon 30D.

The paring of this abandoned white building with the matching arid landscape was just too perfect.
