"I’ve wanted to illustrate little blue penguins for sometime. The opportunity to photograph them arose when my family visited the Christchurch Antarctic Centre. The “Behind the scenes penguin tour” was an opportunity too good to pass up and was not only informative but also allowed an up-close encounter with these beautiful marine birds."
