Wildlife & Nature Photography

Wildlife. Africa. Stories.

 

Wildlife. Landscape. Light.


I photograph animals as part of the world around them — from intimate encounters to wildlife within a much larger landscape.

 

A white egret spreads its wings over calm water creating a perfect mirror reflection at dawn.
Six giraffes walk in a line through golden savanna grass with a white salt pan and blue sky beyond.
A waterbuck antelope walks through a woodland at golden sunset with rays of light filtering through trees.
A photographer walks across a vast red sand dune under a clear blue sky in a desert landscape.

 

Beyond the frame


The places, encounters and unexpected moments
behind the images.
There is more to a photo than what fits
inside the frame.
A wild dog puppy stands backlit in golden hour light amid glowing bush vegetation in the wild.
