Each week, we introduce a new photographer, giving you fresh perspectives and stunning imagery that showcase the beauty and essence of our region. Today we meet 📸 @vicki_walsh_photography Hi everyone, I’m Vicki! The Mornington Peninsula has been part of my life for as long as I can remember; it’s where generations of my family have lived, laughed, and made memories. This deep personal connection inspires my photography and keeps me returning to capture the magic of the region I love most. The Peninsula’s landscapes are wonderfully diverse, from calm, glassy bay beaches to wild, rugged back beaches lined with cliffs and rock pools. Each has its own mood, its own rhythm, and its own story to tell. Through my lens, I aim to capture the ever-changing light, colours, and textures that make this place so special. Some of my favourite spots to photograph include: 📍 McCrae 📍 Dromana 📍 Rosebud 📍 Sierra Nevada Rock For me, each image is a love letter to the Mornington Peninsula, a way of sharing the beauty and emotion I feel every time I’m here.

🐋 Spotted in Frankston! Looks like we’re not the only ones sneaking away for a little seaside escape… 👀💦 Did you know whales that pop into Port Phillip Bay are actually taking a holiday of their own? 🌊 These gentle giants stop by to rest and recharge before continuing their big journey north, basically, the ultimate slow travel inspo. So if a whale can find time for a quick getaway, so can you. 😉 Whether it’s a long lunch, a dip in the hot springs, or a sunset by the sea, the Mornington Peninsula + Frankston is just a splash away. 🌅💙 The magic of whales visiting our bay is never short of amazing. So we let them holiday here too, leaving them to slow down and find their way to a great getaway. 🎥 @rachaelmaryfilms via @imaginefrankston #VisitMorningtonPeninsula #WhaleWatch #Frankston #MorningtonPeninsula #WhaleSeason #PeninsulaEscape #SeasideGetaway #VisitMP #Holiday

Today we meet 📸 @tomputtphotography Hi everyone, I’m Tom! The Mornington Peninsula is my home, my inspiration, and the heart of my photography. For the past 10 years, I’ve lived here with my family, raising five kids and running my gallery on Main Street, Mornington. Every time I step outside with my camera, I’m reminded of just how breathtakingly diverse this landscape is. I love heading out before sunrise to watch the first golden light touch the land, or staying until sunset as the last glow fades into the horizon. Photography, for me, is about telling the story of this place and inviting others to see it through my eyes. The Mornington Peninsula is a living, breathing work of art, and every time I photograph it, I feel deeply grateful to call it home. I’m thrilled to share my latest project, The Mornington Peninsula Coastal Edition, a 240-page collection of aerial and seascape photography celebrating the raw power and tranquil beauty of our coastline.

Today we meet 📸 @lisaeatsworld Hi everyone, I’m Lisa! I’m a photographer, food stylist, recipe developer and writer who embraced a slower lifestyle with a sea change to the Mornington Peninsula. This beautiful region has inspired me to focus on sustainability and wholesome living, something I weave into both my photography and my cooking. As a monthly contributing chef, recipe developer, and photographer for Wellbeing and Eat Well Magazines, I love capturing food that feels nourishing, natural, and connected to place. I often draw inspiration from our incredible local producers and wineries, which shape my organic and seasonal approach to recipes. But beyond the kitchen, I also love photographing the stunning landscapes of the Peninsula, from the rugged coastlines to golden-hour bays. My favourite places to shoot include: 📍 Cape Schanck Lighthouse 📍 Sorrento Rockpools 📍 Number 16 Beach 📍 Rye Back Beach When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll often find me travelling with my two boys, tending to my garden, or baking up a storm in the kitchen.

Today we meet 📸 @julian.varricchio Hi everyone, I’m Julian! Born and raised in Dromana, I’ve lived on the Mornington Peninsula my whole life, and it continues to inspire me daily. My photography is shaped by a deep connection to this place—its people, its seasons, and especially its coastlines, with water often playing a central role in my work. For me, photography is about more than capturing an image, it’s about telling a story, evoking an emotion, and engaging with the world around me. I love shining a light on the details that might otherwise go unnoticed, whether through abstract fragments of life or sweeping coastal scenes. The Peninsula’s variety never ceases to amaze me with stunning coastlines, national parks, and landscapes that shift with every season. It’s this endless inspiration that even led me to publish a book dedicated to showcasing the story of the Mornington Peninsula to the world.

Where lush green headlands meet the deep blues of the ocean, Bushrangers Bay is one of the Mornington Peninsula’s most breathtaking locations. 🌏💙 Just a 3km short walk from Cape Schanck, this secluded spot is perfect for adventurers seeking dramatic scenery, rugged cliffs, and those unforgettable panoramic views. Would you hike here with a friend or your family👣🍃 Bushrangers Bay is not recommended for swimming due to the presence of rips. It is, however, a beautiful location to take a walk and snap a pic of our beautiful coastline.

Today we meet 📸 @yannicreative Hi Everyone, I'm Yanni Dellaportas! I have lived all of my life on the Mornington Peninsula, and the images I create are inspired by the connection I have to its people and the environment. The coastal regions hold a deep and profound significance to me, with water often featuring prominently in my work. I use photography to document the world around me and to create an image that tells a story, evokes an emotional response or conveys an idea. I make pictures that call attention to things that others overlook, and it helps me engage with where I am in space and time. I have a clearer understanding of myself and my world through my photography, which allows me to explore fragments of life in an abstract form and also interact with people I would otherwise not be able to engage with. 📍 Devilbend Reserviour 📍 Dromana Beach 📍 Flinders 📍Fort Nepean 📍Point Nepean 📍The Briars Mt Martha Discover all of Yanni's great locations via the link in our bio or discover more of Yanni's great images at www.yannicreative.com.au. #VisitMP #OfficialMorningtonPeninsula #DiscoverMorningtonPeninsula #CapturedOnTheMorningtonPeninsula #PhotographyTakeover #SeeAustralia #InspiringPhotography #NaturePhotography
