Chasing wild moments
in
wild places

I don’t stage moments, I wait for them, capturing wildlife takes time and I am very passionate about this, for me the wildlife comes first and the images come second. I'm very proud of my gallery of wildlife photos and I pride myself on ethical practices and keeping conservation and the animals wellbeing at the forefront of my mind when out in nature, because at the end of the day that's what this is all about. Showing people there is a beautiful world out there full of amazing wildlife worth saving.

Witness to the wild, Conservation first

A high-key photo of a fur seal sitting on a rock just submerged under the waters surface, giving me the opportunity to take a really nice photo with a slight reflection in the water. The conditions were perfect this day overcast, no wind and lots of seals. There’s something about this photo that I really love, I’m just not too sure what it is.

A vervet monkey peeking through the canopy of the South African bush. Curious, smart and playful, these guys are nothing short of incredible to observe in the wild. While on safari in South Africas national parks and game reserves the vervet monkeys quickly became one of my favourite subjects. Constantly around and looking for any scrap of food to steal right from under your nose, you have to be on high alert.

Emu chicks

I took this photo while on a weekend roadtrip stopping past a national park where I was hoping we would spot an emu, I did not expect however to find emu chicks and so many of them. I spent a lot of time waiting to photograph the emu chicks and they one of my favorites. They remind me of little dinosaurs or what I imagine some would look like and I love it!

On the busy reef of Lady Elliot Island, a traveling green sea turtle swims to the surface for another breath. As wanderers of the world’s oceans, these animals will swim thousands of kilometers over their life, eventually coming back to the beach to lay the next generation. There’s something so calming about swimming with turtles, the way they gracefully glide through the water, being in their presence is pure bliss.
