Why We Named Our Photography Page “2Salties”
A Bond That Transcends Time
In a world where many photographers brand themselves with their own names, we chose a different path. The name 2Salties isn’t just a brand—it’s a story. It’s a reflection of our journey, our bond, and the unwavering strength we draw from the one thing that has shaped everything we’ve done: Mother Nature.
At its core, In the heart of nature, there exists a creature that has witnessed the passage of centuries—surviving, adapting, and thriving in the face of unimaginable challenges. This creature is the Saltwater Crocodile, or “Salties,” as we call them. For us, they represent more than just an apex predator—they symbolize an unbreakable bond, the kind that endures through thick and thin, through time and adversity. And so, when we named our photography page 2Salties, we chose to capture the essence of that very bond—the connection between two souls, one of them being the most important person in your life.
A Bond Like No Other
Much like the Saltwater Crocodile, the bond between us is a testament to resilience, strength, and trust. We, as childhood friends, have experienced the highs and lows of life together, surviving the tests of time with unwavering support and love. But the name “2Salties” is more than just a reflection of our friendship. It’s a tribute to the deep connections that exist between all of us—whether it’s a father and daughter, a mother and son, siblings, best friends, or even two strangers who become family over time.
Where there is love, fear has no place. This powerful truth is embodied by the Saltwater Crocodile. Fearless, relentless, and utterly indomitable, the Saltie is a symbol of survival against the odds. It can endure months without food, survive major injuries that would end the life of most other creatures, and possess the most powerful bite force on the planet. This
creature is a true survivor, and its legacy of strength mirrors the relationships we hold dear—unshakeable, unyielding, and capable of surviving through life’s challenges.
The Saltie: A Masterpiece of Nature
Saltwater Crocodiles are one of the oldest and most formidable creatures on Earth. They have evolved over millions of years, their design honed by time and survival.

The Saltie doesn’t fear the obstacles it faces; instead, it meets them with unmatched power and determination.
In the same way, our bond—whether it’s with a friend, a partner, or family—is built on the foundation of mutual strength. Just like the Saltie’s ability to endure long periods without food, our friendship and shared love for nature have stood the test of time. When life gets
