I am SO happy to be able to welcome back my dear, dear friend Alison Pouliot, who just also happens to be a fabulous photographer. I’ve already featured her work here before, way back when this blog started.

Alison trained in ecology and science, and this has provided the perfect base for her to explore the environment with her photography. She is fascinated with the details of nature; its textures and forms are a source of constant surprise and beauty.

Fungi is one of those fascinations, not only for texture, form and scale, but also for the environments in which they choose to grow. She spends her time between Australia and Switzerland, running workshops on fungi ecology and photography, as well as working on other special projects and private commissions.
