Join professional photographer, Regis Martin, as he shares his experiences of photographing specimens and objects in a museum context. Regis will reflect on some of the extraordinary natural science specimen photographs on display in the exhibition Capturing nature: early photography at the Australian Museum 1857-93.
Regis Martin works at the Clinical Photographer at the Royal Darwin Hospital (2015-present) and was formerly the Image Resource Officer at the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory (MAGNT; 2007-13), where he photographed natural science and history, art and culture collections.

In 2004, he was awarded a Bachelor of Arts from RMIT, Melbourne, where he created a photographic body of work that focused on Goths, aged 30 years or older.
As alumni of Charles Darwin University, his Masters (2003-07) was a photographic based research project, undertaken in the Darwin, that focused on portraiture in the bathroom.
