100 DAYS OF SENTIENCE – MARCH AND APRIL 2024
Day 62/100 Peace on Pastel If you’ve never been at water level next to a humpback whale slipping beneath the waves, it goes something like this … A deep resonant draw of breath, an inhalation of air. A little lift of its head, then a sinuous pulse of energy down it’ spine. Bending, then arching, […]
100 Days of Sentience – January 2024
Day 1/100 A Breath of Fresh Air Just as the great equatorial forests are the lungs of Planet Earth, sequestering carbon and producing oxygen, so too are the microscopic creatures called phytoplankton, the marine equivalent. They however, repeat this process on an even greater scale just under the ocean’s surface. The whale’s poop is a […]
#100DaysOfSentience2024
Sentience – “The quality of being able to experience feelings” War, crypto, AI, stock markets, smart phones, Facebook ,X , TikTok, jewellery, private jets, mansions … Humans are moving at break neck pace with an irrepressible desire to enrich and have more, irrespective of the consequences to those around us, or the natural world we depend on. ‘Greed’ […]
Chris Fallows Photography- Final Quarter 2023

South Luangwa, Zambia
September, 2023 In early September we headed off on our next major expedition as we drove the 4,500 km to the Nsefu area of South Luangwa National Park in Zambia. This was a long drive, made that much more challenging by ever worsening roads and difficult border crossings the further you go. Kazangula border […]
A Rewilding Journey
Part 1 – Ruaha National Park, Southern Tanzania Taking an exceptional fine art wildlife image is the end product to my work, but most often there is a journey involved to get to this point. I feel that if I do not take this journey and simply rock up as a tourist photographer, my resultant […]
A Rewilding Journey
Part 2 – Usangu Awakens Our good friend, Brandon Kemp, who had as much experience as anyone we know across all the great wildlife areas of Southern and East Africa, had for the past few years been telling us we had to visit a place called Usangu Wetlands. He spoke of incredible habitat, no tourists, […]
Advance
It’s hard to describe what it’s like to be lying in front of an elephant of this size … humbling, intimidating, exhilarating all come to mind. It is these emotions I sought to capture in the photograph itself, and I feel that when this work is shown at scale it achieves these aims. This huge […]
