I’ve just released a new special print collection on my website. It’s a specific portfolio of black & white photos showcasing elephants under the vast expanse of the African sky. This series can be printed on the finest Hahnemuhle Photo Rag paper or fine art quality canvas, and it will be an exquisite adornment for […]

Elephant in the Mara
Hello everyone. I’ve been a bit flooded of late so blog posts have been sparse. In the beginning of the month, I published a collection of images from my 2014 “photographic year”.

An Elephantine Moment
Wildlife photography, to me, is about telling the stories of nature and conveying a sense of the wonder of God’s creation to my viewers. As a photographer, you need to be able to use all the tools at your disposal to do this. Besides the obvious – your camera and lens and the right settings […]
