Step into a world of breathtaking colour through the lens of award-winning cinematographer Michael Haluwana — recognised for his work with National Geographic, BBC, and Sir David Attenborough.

 

Swimming with whale sharks, coming up close and personal with Kimberley crocs or flying over the incredible salt lakes is all in a day's work for Michael. 

Journey through vibrant projections and mesmerising multimedia installations that showcase Western Australia’s landscapes and seascapes in incredible detail.
