James Dorey Photography

Welcome! I am a Lecturer at the University of Wollongong and a Professional Photographer. I sometimes find it difficult to tell these two roles apart as my science informs my photography and photography feeds into both my research projects and teaching.

I work mostly on bees in Australia, Fiji, and the world but I don't limit myself just to our cute little pollinators and I like to also work with other taxa. If you're interested in my photography, research, or both then you're in the right place! Feel free to browse or reach out!

For those looking for a convenient way to enjoy the beauty of Australian native bees, my book, "Bees of Australia" published by CSIRO Publishing is available for purchase online and in many bookstores. It is an excellent introduction to Australian native bees; this book features information from Australia's amazing bee researchers among others and has images of many of Australia's native bees from all over the country. The book is intended to enthral, educate and amaze readers who can just choose to look just at the amazing imagery or delve a little deeper into the biology of our native bees and the issues that surround them.
