The Cowboy (Single)
DESCRIPTION
Solio Reserve in Kenya is a private sanctuary dedicated to the conservation of white & black rhino. With over 600 rhinos on the reserve the photographic potential is huge. I was able to get close enough to frame this impressive rhino against the stormy sky. The grass that he was chewing at the side of his mouth reminded me of images of cowboys in the Wild West.
AUTHOR
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.
