Nelly Xiao Photography I am a Sydney-based photographer who lived in Tibet, and I want to tell the poignant tales of the land with its magnificent wildlife and primitive culture.

I am a professional wildlife photographer with the Kekexili Wildlife Conservation Association. My passion for photography and my love for animals started at a young age. I began to photograph in childhood, using photography as my instrument of speech - to tell stories and voice my beliefs. I completed my Visual Arts degree majoring in analog photography at the University of Sydney and have worked

in photography jobs in varied fields, such as fashion editorials, portraiture and corporate events in both Australia and abroad. In 2015, I had the opportunity to embark on and document the "Origin of Three Rivers" Expedition with National Geographics China. We ventured into the sacred Tanggula snow mountain range in the northwestern region of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau of China, reaching Peak Gelalandong at 6,600 meters above sea level. The expedition was guided by the captain of the Kekexili Mountain patrol, who led the team through the vast Kekexili Wildlife Conservation, which gave me the greatest opportunity to see Kekexili for the first time - a place that I have only dreamt of going to after watching the film "Kekexili: Mountain Patrol" - the tales of the heroic Bsod nams dar rgys who sacrificed his life trying to save the endangered Tibetan antelopes from a band of ruthless hunters. After hearing many hardships of the Kekexili Mountain patrol and seeing the beautiful Tibetan plateau and its endemic wildlife, I stayed in the Kekexili Wildlife Conservaion after the expedition, experiencing and capturing the life of a member of the Kekexili Mountain patrol for a year. With the images I have captured in the conservation, I want to tell the stories of the Kekexili Wildlife Conservation with its unique landscape and majestic wild animals, and the compassionate nature of the Tibetan culture. Thank you for your interest and embarking on this journey with me.

We went to Tasmania in March, and there were so many butterflies everywhere! I don’t know anything about butterflies so I’m not sure what species this little guy was. But wasn’t she so beautiful! 🦋🦋🦋

Australian Magpie, Triabunna Tasmania
According to ABC, maggies in Tasmania don’t live up to their swooping reputation as the mainland magpies do, but again media loves to dramatise magpie swooping so it’s probably just under-reported in the greener state and/or less overlapping urbanisation 🐦
