Ian Connellan is the editor of Australian Geographic and a contracted Getty - formerly Lonely Planet Images photographer. In 30 years as a writer, magazine and book editor and photojournalist Ian has traveled the world and written countless articles and travel guides and has had scores of photos published in magazines, books and online.

Not only an experienced photographer, Ian is also a wonderful people-person, having hosted many adventure-tour groups in places including the Galapagos, the Everest region in Nepal and various wild parts of Australia, many of them in his capacity as a trustee of the Australian Geographic Society.

Joining Chris Bray Photography in 2012, Ian brings with him a wealth of experience, and for those looking to break into the industry and get published, well... he ran Australian Geographic - one of the most respected, image-proud magazines in Australia, for 5 years.
