Wildlife / Animals nominee

While cheetahs are more famous for their mind-boggling turns of speed, they also have an amazing knack of striking a pose on anything that gives them an elevated point of view over the savannah, looking out for potential prey or threats. This evening, we were lucky to spend time with two such posers who were busy scanning opposite sides of the plain, when something suddenly something made them look in one direction and hold this pose long enough for us to get this photo!

As they were on a mound, we had an excellent low angle to work from. The magical evening light rounded off this special moment for us!

We are Nairobi based hobby photo artists with a specific interest in showcasing wild animals in the wild, in black and white. We believe that wild animals are beautiful, sentient beings brimming with stature, grace, sensitivity and strength. We portray these in our work.

We are the 2022 recipients of the Greatest Masai Mara Photo Prize, as well as winners of numerous other accolades at awards like Monovisions, ND Awards, Tokyo International Awards, Spider Awards etc.
