2027 OCEAN CALENDARS

They’re here! I’ve loved playing around and making calendars the last few years. I’ve got a limited number of calendars available for anyone who wants to bring a little piece of the ocean into their home.

Each calendar features beautiful images from a few different oceans, printed on 100% recycled paper and is perfect for the fridge, office or as a gift for a friend!

Limited numbers available. DM if you’re keen. 🤍

Shooting with Nikon Australia & Nauticam

This encounter has been one of the most memorable experiences I’ve had with a humpback whale. Playful, curious, and seemingly just as fascinated by our presence as we are by his.

I don’t really know how to put into words the intelligence and awareness I’ve observed these animals possess. It’s left me speechless more times than I can count.

The more time I spend with them, the more apparent it becomes that there is far more to these animals than we yet comprehend❤️‍🔥

The reality of wildlife encounters 🐋🌙

What you see in the photographs is often just one moment from an entire day spent out in the wild.

There are early mornings, long hours on the boat, changing weather, rough seas, animals disappearing as quickly as they appeared… and plenty of days where the ocean simply doesn’t give you the encounter you were hoping for.

Then sometimes, you get lucky. You’re in the right place at the right time and an animal decides to stay and interact with you.

That’s the reality of wildlife… it happens on its own terms.

What started as a love for art and photography has grown into something much deeper. 🖤

My name is Miesa (pronounced “Meee-sa”) and I’m completely obsessed with the ocean and the stories that exist within and around it.

My connection to the natural world started long before I ever picked up a camera.

Growing up in South Africa, I was deeply connected to the land and her people. I grew up with a fascination for the bush, wildlife and the feeling of being somewhere that exists far beyond us. I think that stayed with me, even as my life eventually pulled me towards the ocean.

The last four years have pushed me toward a path I never could have imagined - teaching, freediving, working on the water, marine science and spending so much of my life underwater with a camera in my hands.

It’s been incredibly inspiring, but it’s also been heartbreaking and eye-opening. The more time I spend in the ocean, the more I see both the incredible resilience of our natural world and the impact we are having on it. It’s hard not to feel overwhelmed by everything we’re losing, but it’s also made me realise just how much there is worth fighting for.

Being able to experience the ocean like this has been one of my greatest privileges.
