Black and White

Bushveld Zebra - The 'bushveld' is the colloquial name for the African savannah in South Africa. It is a term, and a place, that pulls at the heartstrings. It is also a difficult place to photograph - it is bushy! Sticking my lens through one such bush I created this portrait. It is as much about the zebra as it is about the ambiance and mystery of the bushveld.

Tim The Tusker - Tim was a giant who roamed wild and free for many years beneath Mount Kilimanjaro. This photograph was taken in the last years of his life. His magnificence lives on in this artwork (photographed on community land in the Amboseli region of Kenya).

Primate Ponderings - For 8 years I journeyed to the wild and very remote Mahale Mountains of Tanzania to photograph our closest living relatives. This photograph is the result of my searching for a single photograph that is able to convey the mysterious link between man and beast.

A Leopard's Den - We knew that this leopard, called the Ostrich Koppies female, had cubs, and it took us days of searching to locate her den site (Mala Mala, South Africa).

Leopard Looking On - Leopards have the remarkable ability to be equally at home in the trees as they are on the ground. Here a leopard looks on, staring at something unbeknownst to me (Mala Mala, South Africa).

Equine Reflections - It was on Botswana's salt pans that I witnessed thousands of zebra journeying to quench desperate thirsts. This is an inverted reflection; made possible by the mirror-like water.

Zebra Soul - Photographed in South Africa's Hluhluwe Game Reserve, in the heart of Zululand. Staring into this zebra's eye, I crossed the invisible boundary that separates humans from animals. This frame remains one of the definitive moments in my photographic career.

Running Rhinos - A pair of rhinos barrel through the bush. I choose a slow shutter speed to accentuate the moment of my prehistoric and ghostly subjects (secret location in Kenya).

Lone Lechwe - Like a statue in the middle of the swamps, this lechwe fixes its gaze on a neighbouring male. As the sun rises, the swamp releases steam, creating a dreamy setting that is best told without colour (Busanga Plains, Zambia).
