My connection with wildlife started long before I picked up a camera. I grew up in Durban, spending much of my childhood in Umdloti and in the bush, where wildlife was simply part of my life. My godfather owned game reserves, and by 15, my first “car” was a game viewer. I later trained as a guide and have spent my career working in some of South Africa’s wildest places, eventually settling in Madikwe. Photography became a natural part of that journey. I wanted to capture the moments that stopped me in my tracks and share the incredible animals and wild spaces I experience every day. I particularly enjoy photographing Africa’s predators, but often it’s the quieter moments that mean the most. For me, being behind the camera is partly about holding onto moments that I know won’t last. Out here, something can happen in a few seconds and then disappear forever. I think there’s something special about being able to freeze those moments in time - not just so I can remember them, but so that someone else can experience a small piece of what I saw, even years later.
