I have been lucky enough to work on North Island in the Seychelles and on board the Queen Mary 2 but I still feel that being able to share images of Africa is a privilege and I hope you enjoy my images as much as I enjoy creating them.
All images , unless otherwise stated, were taken in the wild in various Nature Reserves and Game Parks throughout Africa.

If you have any special requests or commissions I would also be more then happy to assist.

Enjoy, and I look forward to hearing from you! Any feedback and input is greatly appreciated!

Thank you for viewing my work!
