About

dakota gordon is a freelance photographer and exhibiting artist based in melbourne, australia.

starting out as a fashion and editorial photographer in 2011, dakota quickly established herself within the industry and collaborated with a wide range of local and international brands, musicians, artists and designers, as well as having her work featured in a number of publications such as paper magazine, oyster magazine, kerrang!, grazia and ZEITmagazin

with a long-standing background in the wildlife conservation and wildlife rescue fields, dakota has since shifted her artistic practice to focus more on the documentation of the natural world and the environmental challenges it faces. heavily inspired by the unique details within the harsh and unpredictable australian landscapes, dakota depicts these elements within her work to produce images that are minimal, yet powerfully detailed, and hopes to create a further understanding surrounding the importance of preserving the natural world.
