Fiona Basile is an internationally award-winning photographer and writer who loves traversing the globe in search of faces and places that enrich our world. A lover of open waters, she’s taken to swimming in Melbourne’s Port Phillip Bay as often as possible, which has been the inspiration behind her latest photographic books, The Next Wave and Immerse, and wall art collection, ‘Ocean Swimmers’ and ‘Ocean Deep’.
Born in country Victoria, I’ve always loved wide open spaces, the fresh air and exploring different places. It comes from being ‘sent outside’ often to play, with the only rule being, ‘come back for lunch and dinner’ … which was often a home-cooked Italian feast.
We were fortunate as a family to enjoy overseas and interstate travel often, which sparked and fed my adventurous spirit. From an early age I knew I wanted to be a ‘photojournalist’ so that I could meet people, hear and share their stories, and capture and share the beauty that I discovered.
