Wildlife / Animals nominee

Whilst on the lookout for lions & leopards one blazing hot afternoon in Savute we came across a small group of elephants at a waterhole quietly drinking.

Then suddenly there was an explosion of activity as the two bigger elephants on the outside jostled the smaller elephant in the middle. I fired off a burst of shots & this is my favourite image of this dynamic encounter, also helped by some amazing cloud formations in the background.

After 30 years working in the television industry, I took a leap of faith & decided to follow my passion & become a full-time wildlife photographer.
I hope you will find in my work nuances of light, composition, and storytelling. I want my images to provoke an emotion or a spark of curiosity.
I particularly love the timeless beauty & elegance of black & white images & I am increasingly looking for those subjects & environments where I know black & white will enhance the final image.
More than ever, I seek an unmistakable sense of place in my photography. It is an evolving part of my style as a photographer. As I compose an image my eye is constantly seeking to capture & frame the raw beauty & majesty not only of the wildlife in front of my lens, but equally important to me is the environment around it.
My work has been recognized in competitions run by the WNPA, Mono Awards, Muse & Refocus Awards. My images also support the conservation work of Mara Elephant Project & 10% of prints sales go towards various conservation charities in Africa.
I will be exhibiting at Windsor Art Fair in November.
