Secrets of the Maasai Mara
For many months last year, a camera trap beside a remote river crossing in Kenya’s Maasai Mara quietly watched the forest…
Camera Trapping in the Congo
For me, the Congo rainforest is the essence of wilderness. As you venture into it, the roads and navigable river tributaries become ever more vegetation-clogged until eventually the only way forwards is on foot, through boggy swamps and along narrow forest trails…
Testing Sony’s Latest Kit for Wildlife Photography
As a Sony Ambassador, I often have the opportunity to test out the latest Sony equipment. I always aim to take it into the field and put it through its paces in real-world wildlife photography scenarios.
Race to Save Kenya’s Giant Pangolins
As I stood on the edge of the Oloololo escarpment, looking out over the Maasai Mara, an occasional glint of light reflected off a distant vehicle and reminded me that the planes below teem with safari vehicles. This is one of the most popular safari destinations on the continent and it seemed incredible that, just over my shoulder, there was a large species of mammal that had gone mostly unnoticed until recently and could soon be extinct in Kenya.
We Built a Waterhole
In the relentless heat of the day, Shompole Conservancy seems like an inhospitable place. A layer of fine dust blankets everything and it is impossible to move without sending puffs of it drifting off on the breeze. It is very dry and it might appear that little wildlife could survive here. At night, however, the story is quite different…
TEDx Talk: What I learned while photographing wildlife
I recently had the honour of speaking at TEDxNoVA in Lisbon, Portugal. In my talk, I share my adventures and the lessons I have learnt in my career as a wildlife photographer.
Melanistic Serval Kitten in the Serengeti
Last week I was at Namiri Plains in the Serengeti. I was aware that over the last couple of years, a rare melanistic serval cat had been seen quite regularly near to camp. When I arrived, however, I was disappointed to learn that it had not been seen for a couple of months. But, I had not come to the Serengeti looking for black cats; my aim was to photograph lions for my next book project and so I resolved to focus all my attention on that instead. The lions of Namiri did not disappoint and thoughts of mini black panthers soon left my mind.
Starlit Black Leopard: Capturing my dream photograph
In early 2019, I released my first images of a black leopard in Kenya. However, the project did not end there. For a period of time, I knew where I could find an African black leopard and I was keen to make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
BeetleCam of the Future
The all-new BeetleCam is here!
Photographing Rhinos
As I was winding up the fieldwork for Land of Giants, I shifted focus to another of Tsavo’s majestic inhabitants: Black Rhino. Tsavo West is a one of the most ruggedly wild and beautiful landscapes I have encountered in Africa, and a fitting bastion for these ancient mammals.
