Ute Wegmann

Originally from Germany, Ute Wegmann has worked as a freelance photographer throughout Australia for over 18 years, capturing the unpredictability of animals with her artful, often quite humorous images. Her work has been featured in Black & White magazine and in Burke's Backyard magazine. She was also assigned by Dog's Life Magazine to photograph public personalities like Katrina Warren (Harry's Practice) and Julie McCrossin (Good News Week) with their canine friends.

Ute does not only love domestic animals but has a deep caring for Australia's wildlife. The idea for this book originated after her personal experience with wildlife rescue. For Ute, wildlife carers, who work around the clock and mostly rely on donations, are the true heroes and heroines of the bush!
