“When you look a wild animal in the eye, it’s like catching a glimpse into the soul of nature itself.”
my philosophy
Photography is my art and visual voice, capturing the essence of the natural world to inspire and protect. Each image is an experience frozen in time, seen through my creative lens. It is where my creative passion and purpose converge, where the artistic journey deepens my connection to nature and transforms my work from showcasing beauty into a mission that serves a global agenda.
I have found a purpose that brings my creative passion alive; one that contributes to creating impact in the world and one that I can share with the world. I would like people to view my work more than just a photograph, but to illustrate the beauty of the natural world, to highlight a key issue and to tell a story – in one word, art.

my story
One TV station. No internet. Large gardens. Great weather. An abundance of nature and wildlife.
These words capture the essence of my childhood in Zambia, a time filled with outdoor exploration and close encounters with Africa’s rich flora and fauna. The stark contrasts between bustling city life and the serene wilderness became clear to me from a young age—ecological, physical, visual, and mental. The serenity of those vast lands, the blissful feelings they evoked, and the thrill of spotting wildlife resonated deeply within me, a connection that only grew stronger when I found photography (or when photography found me).
Like most great things in life, photography came by chance. I first experimented with my father’s film camera, but the expense of film and development made it challenging to pursue. Years later, living in London, my interest in photography was reignited with a basic Nikon DSLR—a massive upgrade from the compact digital cameras I had used before. I was eager to reconnect with a creative hobby, especially as I found myself spending most of my time working or thinking about my day job.
My first trip to the Masai Mara a few years back made it clear what type of photography truly speaks to me; a new telephoto lens may have played a part! The sheer density of wildlife was astounding; each day felt more exhilarating than the last. On the first evening, as I sat outside my tent reviewing the hundreds of photos I had taken, my adrenaline surged. The excitement took me right back to the moments I had captured—I was hooked. This was the convergence point where wildlife, photography and, with time, the vital importance of conservation all came together. The pieces of my creative puzzle had finally fallen into place.

storytelling
Storytelling is at the heart of (wildlife) photography for me. The moments we capture are fleeting and become rarer as time goes on, reflecting both the challenges and triumphs in conservation. While there have been positive breakthroughs, the overall progress in preserving our natural world often feels like it’s lagging behind - I hope this is just the pessimist in me thinking this.
I seek to capture moments that resonate deeply, one that evokes an emotional response and inspire viewers to connect with nature. Whether it’s the intense gaze of a predator that elicits awe, the tender interaction between a mother and her young that inspires warmth and compassion, or the stark reality of environmental decline that prompts reflection, my goal is to make each moment impactful and meaningful.
This journey goes beyond merely capturing images. Through my art, I aim to highlight the delicate balance we must protect and inspire meaningful change for future generations. Each image serves as a visual ode to the world we stand to lose, reflecting both its beauty and its fragility.
