Africa Geographic Photographer of the Year 2026

Highly Commended

Extremely proud that my photo “A Curious Nose” was highly commended in the Africa Geographic Photographer of the Year 2026 competition.

What the judges said:

“Aardvarks are among Africa’s most elusive mammals, making any meaningful sighting memorable. To photograph one in warm afternoon light, fully exposed and going about its business before darkness has fallen, is rare. The rich golden tones, clean composition and alert posture of the aardvark combine to create a portrait that feels both intimate and celebratory, shining a spotlight on a species few people ever have the privilege of seeing.”
