Namibia, March 2021
Is there a country fairer? Having seen all seven continents many times and travelled the width and breadth of the planet, I pose the question that if its open spaces, endless vistas and wildlife encrusted sandscapes that ticks your box, then perhaps Namibia is the fairest of them all. I have visited Namibia almost annually […]
Of Fire and Ice
Each year In January we generally spend our time photographing lions in the Central Kalahari Game reserve in Botswana, but with the closure of South Africa’s land borders our trip for 2021 was cancelled. In its place we headed to the far northern reaches of South Africa’s most arid region, the Northern Cape. I was […]
Of Might and Magnitude
On a vast and endless ocean, you could be forgiven for not realizing the scale and scope of a distant hoisted whale fluke. However, when you are just a couple of meters away, it is simply overwhelmingly impressive and inspiring. With the strength and lustre of polished ebony, the 15 foot wide glistening fluke of […]
Salutation
Proudly arching high into the illuminating first rays of the morning light, the near perfect vertical disposition of this Humpback Whale’s fluke portends a deep dive into the dark inky depths that await it. As if in deference to the whale’s decision to exchange the realms of air for ocean, a myriad of diamond like […]
The Great Wing
The roughly translated scientific name of the Humpback whale, Megaptera novaeangliae, means Great Wing of New England. Indeed, there can be few sights more alluring or entrancing than the huge foil-like wing of the Humpback Whale hoisted ten feet clear of the water with a cascade of droplets streaming from its glistening surface. Of the […]
Brothers In Arms
Great whites are renowned for being solitary creatures; they keep a healthy distance from each other and observe a strict hierarchy. I am fortunate to have been able to get close enough to many of the world’s most charismatic mega-fauna to capture many of my most memorable images. One such image was captured from a […]

Grace on Granite
As a fine art wildlife photographer I have a very clear outline of what subjects I like to photograph and in what environment I feel best compliments and befits their very essence. Over the years Monique and I have been very lucky with lions and cheetah and as such I have a collection of Fine […]
Of Crocs and Greener Grass, the Crossing of the Mara River
We have seen many of the world’s most intense wildlife spectacles, and watching a Wildebeest crossing of the Mara River is undoubtedly one of them. My aim whilst at Nomad Tanzania’s Lamai Serengeti camp, in Kogatende located in the far Northern Serengeti abutting Kenya’s Maasai Mara, was to focus on capturing Fine Art Photographic images […]
