Sophie Xiang

I am a self-taught smartphone wildflower photographer. I started my journey five years ago. Capturing the unique beauty of the Australian native flora and learning Botanic knowledge is my absolute passion. I enjoyed the simplicity and convenience of the phone. I have done lots of practice and extensive research on what you can expect from your phone and how to become better at photography.

I am very privileged to have been invited to many workshop events at festivals, libraries, with community groups and at art exhibition. My story has been featured in ABC Gardening Australia. My social media page has been widely shared with millions of others. I am looking forward to sharing my experiences with like-minded people.
