Joy Kachina

Joy Kachina is a Tasmanian landscape photographer with a deep love for the island’s wild places. Growing up west of Brisbane, she was drawn to the bush from a young age, exploring with her film camera in hand and capturing the colours and textures of Australia’s diverse landscapes. Today, Joy calls Tasmania home and spends much of her time in the Central Highlands and Mount Field, photographing ancient alpine species like the pencil pine, King Billy pine, and the endangered Miena cider gum.

For Joy, photography is more than an image – it’s a way to share the stories of Tasmania’s forests and inspire others to care for them. Her work invites you to pause, look closer, and feel the quiet power of nature that makes this island so extraordinary.

International Recognition

In 2025, Joy’s artistry was celebrated on the global stage when she was named Photographer of the Year at the Natural Landscape Photography Awards (NLPA)—one of the world’s most prestigious accolades for landscape photography.

Her award-winning folio featured images taken primarily in Southern Tasmania, particularly Mount Field and the Central Highlands, with one image from the Tarkine Coast. Judges praised her ability to capture the raw spirit of the Tasmanian wilderness with both vivid detail and emotional depth.

Joy’s recognition shines a light not only on her extraordinary talent but also on the significance of Tasmania’s wild and endangered landscapes. Through her work, she hopes to inspire others to see the beauty, fragility, and value of these unique ecosystems—and to protect them for the future.
