South Africa Nominee Nature Professional "In to the storm" I have often make the mistake of thinking the grass is greener on the other-side .And that in order to create great images i must travel too far off exotic locations. There is probably an element of t In 2001 I made a decision to quit a career in finance to pursue my dream of travelling Africa in 4x4 Landcruiser. The sheer size and magnitude of this continent were overwhelming. I travelled the forests of Bwindi to the peaks of Kilimanjaro, to the shores of Lake Malawi and the red dunes of the Kalahari. I have spent months in the African Wilderness looking for that unique photograph to showcase the rich variety of wildlife and the beautiful Landscape that Africa has to offer. Africa has become the new chapter in my life and I have dedicated the last 15 years photographing this diverse continent. My dedication to my craft has been rewarded with publications in National Geographic, Deutsche Geo and many others. My photographs have won numerous awards including the prestigious BBC Wildlife Photographer of The Year in 2011,2013 and 2017 Photography has become my life, it may be a cliche but its true. I live and breathe photography. No matter where I am, my mind’s eye is making photographs, it has taught to see the world in a different light for that I am so grateful. |
