I’m a photographer and writer, and for twenty years I have explored the wild areas of Africa.
Through my images and words, I hope to portray the astounding spirit of wilderness which has changed my life.
I also interview Africa’s conservationists, naturalists and local guides, to share their stories and knowledge with the rest of the world.
Ultimately, I wish for others to experience the sacred nature of wild Africa for themselves, and then to stand up and speak up for Africa’s incomparable – yet threatened – wilderness.
