Behind Outback Lens
G'day, I'm Des
Photography is still at the heart of Outback Lens, but the channel has grown into the bigger story around it. Outdoor life, travel, film, farm life, wild places and the moments that come from chasing a different kind of lifestyle.
Right now we’re based in Far North Queensland, living and working on a tropical flower farm with my partner Abbi as we get ready for the next chapter. The channel follows the real journey, from local adventures and photography missions to house sits, overseas travel, new places and whatever comes next.
