Wild at heart
I'm a South African-born wildlife photographer and photographic guide, with a love for Earth’s open and uninhabited places, from the plains and waterways of Africa to the ice of the Arctic.
Having grown up in South Africa, I spent a lot of my time from childhood to right through university travelling ‘to the bush’ (‘on Safari’ to all non-South Africans). Although I loved it, it was only when I picked up a camera for the first time in 2007 and peered down the lens that I realised that it was these incredible animals and the natural earth, not the advanced accounting degree that I was then studying, that was my passion.
Photography for me is about freezing a moment. A fleeting moment that may never be captured again. It has the power to inspire individuals and raise awareness by transporting us into the world of the subject. It opens you up to an entirely new perspective and encourages new ways of seeing the world, from the smallest details that are otherwise overlooked to the expansive and diverse landscapes that not only form the backdrop to the images but often are, themselves, the stars.
Although I worked as an accountant for some time, I eventually bit the bullet and moved full time into wildlife photography in 2020.
I love this natural world we share and I hope through my imagery, words, and the tours that I lead that I can impart some of that and help conserve and protect this incredible planet and all her wondrous creatures.
