There is a certain kind of empowerment I feel being able to capture wildlife in its element with the detail that a lens can apprehend, something beyond what your eye and passing time can capture – the texture of an elephant’s skin, with all its exterior toughness yet intricate crevices; the cheetah’s black tear that allows its pin-point visual accuracy; or the beauty and unexplainable perfect symmetry of a leopard. These are the tools of nature. These tools are what connect us.
My work embodies my individual creative expression, emphasising what I regard the most notable aspects of the photo. It is more than simply freezing a scene; it is about communicating a message, creating an emotional response and showcasing the natural world through my lens.
