About Miscellaneous: More Stories from the Wild
These images capture the species often overlooked on a typical safari, requiring the same patience and precision as the more famous apex predators. Whether it is the intense gaze of an African painted dog or the rare, shadowy form of a black leopard, these prints bring the raw reality of the ecosystems I explore directly to your wall. Each piece is finished on archival-grade materials to ensure the texture, color, and depth remain true to the moment I first witnessed them in the wild.
While my expeditions are often defined by the big cats, a true understanding of the wild requires looking at the entire ecosystem. This gallery houses the stories that defy easy categorization. You will find the swift serval hunting in the savannah, the elusive melanistic leopard, and the coordinated, intelligent packs of African painted dogs. These creatures are the pulse of the wild, and capturing them requires different techniques, from low-angle shooting to hours of silent anticipation.
Choosing a print is a commitment to the wild. I offer three finishes tailored to the image and its environment:
- Archival Giclee Prints: Printed on museum-grade cotton rag paper, these offer a classic, matte feel perfect for framing.
- Gallery Wrapped Canvas: Stretched over sturdy pinewood, these provide a tactile, painterly texture that suits the dramatic nature of wildlife portraiture.
- Acrylic Face Mounts: These offer a 3D, luminescent depth, which works exceptionally well for darker, high-contrast images like the black leopard.
Every print comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and my hand-applied signature, ensuring you own a verified piece of my journey. If you are looking for a specific size or a custom framing solution to match your interior, I am happy to discuss what will work best for your space.

I don't just point a camera and click. I wait for the animal to reveal its character, whether that is a painted dog's social play or a leopard's shadow in the trees. These prints are my way of bringing the quiet, intense beauty of the wild into your home.
