Our Story

About CM Archive

Hi, I’m Cassandra. I’m an Australian visual artist and photographer drawn to the delicate details of Australian environments.

With a Bachelor of Visual Arts, majoring in Photography, I spent nearly a decade photographing weddings and portraits before taking time away to focus on family, grief and health. I have now returned to photography with a renewed appreciation for a slower, quieter and more intentional observation.

Inspired by honest moments found, rather than created, my current work primarily focuses on native birdlife and rural environments, exploring moments of stillness within nature and that reflect a slower way of seeing.

Alongside my photography practice, I work in tourism marketing, celebrating my home region in Northern Victoria.

Through CM Archive, I aim to create a collection of quiet encounters, inviting a deeper appreciation for native wildlife, changing landscapes and allowing the restorative presence of nature to be brought into the home.
