Welcome to Jimmy Malecki’s Studio

For over three decades, Jimmy Malecki has captured the world through the lens of his camera, blending art, passion, and a deep commitment to environmental conservation. From his early days as a curious child in his father’s darkroom to his transformative career as a photographer, filmmaker, and conservationist, Jimmy’s journey has been anything but conventional—but it has always been driven by a singular purpose: to tell stories that inspire, inform, and ignite change.

Rooted in the natural beauty of the Bog Conservation Area in Northern NSW, Australia, Jimmy’s work as a regenerative filmmaker is a powerful blend of visual storytelling and environmental advocacy. With a background that spans scuba diving, EMT work, and gallery curation, Jimmy’s multifaceted career led him to create photographs and films that resonate with authenticity and purpose.

In his early years, Jimmy’s fascination with photography was sparked by his father, and by the age of 10, he was already well on his way with a Kodak Brownie in hand. He later honed his craft as a professional photographer, working with major institutions like Microsoft, MTV, and many film and television productions like Stephen King’s ‘Rose Red’, among many others. His work has been seen in the pages of top publications such as Rolling Stone, The New York Times, and Vogue.

But it’s his heart for the environment that truly sets Jimmy apart. His contributions to environmental photography and conservation efforts, such as his co-creation of World in Focus and his extensive work for nonprofit groups, speak to his dedication to using his craft for good. Jimmy’s passion extends beyond the camera—he’s worked tirelessly to support causes that protect the planet, from small local theatre productions to global conservation movements.

Now, based in the Northern Rivers region of Australia, Jimmy continues to blend his deep love for nature with his filmmaking and photography. His work is not only an expression of his creative vision but also a call to action—a way to connect viewers with the natural world in a meaningful and regenerative way.
