Field note

Cheetah Hunt Photography at Namiri Plains

I watched through my viewfinder as a mother cheetah closed in on her prey, her two cubs crouched beside her. This is what four days at Namiri Plains looks like: patient stalks, lions at sunrise, and leopards lounging after kills.

Artist statement

The way the work gets made

I'm a wildlife conservation photographer specializing in African megafauna — gorillas, big cats, and elephants in their natural habitats. My work captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the natural world while supporting efforts to preserve what remains.
