Simply Africa - In the Great Rift Valley of Kenya, the Maasai tribe carry out a pastoral lifestyle. Their cattle are their treasure and here I record a herder standing among his cows, in the late afternoon light and dust.
Dusk and Dust - In Kenya’s Rift Valley, in a remote part of Maasai-land, when the cow herders get close to home, the village children come out to greet them. Scenes like this are carried out on a daily basis in this remote corner of Africa.
Shadow and Soul - There are few places wilder than the backwaters of Zimbabwe’s Mana Pools National Park. It was here that I was camped when a pack of Cape Hunting Dog (also known as painted wolves or wild dog), killed an impala antelope. The subsequent feeding frenzy resulted in a plume of dust, onto which my subject's shadow is cast.
Zebra Forest - A zebra stands in front of an Acacia forest on the floor of Kenya’s Great Rift Valley.
The White Wolf - Spending the night in a solo hide positioned in ‘no man’s land’ between Russia and Finland, I was rewarded with a glimpse of a white wolf, moving through the woods in the twilight.
Oryx in 3D - Photographing this herd of Oryx from a helicopter, over Namibia’s Namib desert, the animals resemble a pop-up children’s book.
Buffalo in the Rain - A Cape Buffalo in Kenya’s Lake Nakuru National Park stands in the rain; the giant tropical raindrops made visible by the sun’s rays.
The Last Hunter - Botswana’s famed Hunter Gatherers have been outlawed from hunting by their own government. This enchanting frame of ‘the last hunter’ visually presents the subject as vanishing.
Kasanka Sunrise - In Zambia’s Kasanka National Park each year, around November time, the largest mammal migration on planet earth takes place, when up to 8 million bats move into a tiny forest. Here you see the bats coming back to the forest after a night’s foraging in the Congo. Each bat has a wingspan of over one metre.
Bushman Impressions - A young bushman in Botswana’s Central Kalahari Game Reserve wears a set of Steenbok horns, which his ancestors wore when stalking game. Crouching in the grass, the horns tied to the hunter’s forehead, resemble a Steenbok, helping put potential quarry at ease.
A Stand of Flamingoes - Here a stand of flamingoes are seen marching in the same direction, their red legs standing out against the black volcanic mud of Kenya’s Lake Magadi.
An Implausibilty of Wildebeest - The Great Migration sees 1.7 million wildebeest cross the Mara River every year, in Kenya’s famed Masai Mara Game Reserve. I have been photographing this migration for the past 17 consecutive years and here you see the vast herds mulling about on the riverbank, surrounded by dust, trying to pluck up the courage to cross.
Maasai Shepherd - In southern Kenya, a Maasai shepherd is with his cows and he carries a spear to protect his livestock from lions.
