About

First camera was a Canon 350D in 2005. No formal training. Learned by shooting, studying other photographers, and putting in the hours across 60-odd countries.

In 2010, an elephant photograph shot on a beat-up Nikon D90 at the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania ended up on the cover of National Geographic Traveller. They found it through a Google image search. That photo came out of a 3.5-month overland trip through 12 African countries, from Morocco and Egypt down to South Africa and back up through Uganda. The trip ended at Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, tracking mountain gorillas through the jungle.

The aim is to show the world as it is. No heavy manipulation, no crossing the line from photography into digital art. Moments and connection over technical perfection.
