Ethereal Africa

Poetry in Motion - A lioness moves through the burnt plains of Kenya's famed Masai Mara. Using a slow shutter speed I pan with my subject, capturing her effortless prowess.

Flamingo Flurry - Zooming in and shooting with a slow shutter speed, I allow the flamingoes to paint their own frame. Photographed on a private Northern Kenya photo safari to Lake Bagoria.

Water Ballet - Elegant, graceful and oh so pretty in pink, the flamingo is a feathered supermodel. Seen here dancing across a Rift Valley lake in Kenya, where the subtle pink plumage and blue watery hues combine, creating this pastel watercolour (Lake Bagoria, Kenya).

Giraffes Beneath the Acacia (1) - A pair of giraffe prepare to play wrestle beneath an Umbrella-thorn Acacia tree, on the vast plains of the Serengeti. To accentuate these two iconic shapes of Africa, I chose high-key camera settings (Tanzania).

Lone Giraffe - A giraffe stands on a vast grassy plain in Kenya's Amboseli region. The khaki grass blurs the foreground and the frame, imbued with soft pastel colours, reminds me of Africa's quiet moments of solitude.

Woodland Zebra - Mystical and magical are just two adjectives for the zebra. Stalking my subject on foot, I hide behind a bush to capture this ethereal portrait. The oxpecker was simply the cherry on top (Mala Mala, South Africa).

Zebra In Flames - As a wildlife photographer I am sometimes presented with scenes I could not even have imagined. For this portrait I focused through a bush of dry leaves. An overcast sky and distant leadwood trees provided a pleasing background of squiggles (Mala Mala, South Africa).

Tall Twiga - Standing tall on the floor of Kenya's Rift Valley, the only thing in the savannah that is taller than this giraffe, is its shadow.
