About Wildlife Photography Expeditions & Workshops
Why I Do This
When I'm out in the wild, camera in hand, it's all about that feeling of connection with animals. Sometimes I wait for hours, sometimes the animal never shows up, but that split second when a leopard makes eye contact or a jaguar steps out of the shadows - it's magic. That's what keeps me coming back, and that's the feeling I want you to experience too.
What to Expect on My Expeditions
This isn't about ticking off animals for your checklist. With me, it's about patience, respect for nature, and learning to see stories in every encounter. Whether you choose a group wildlife photo safari tour or a private, custom-guided experience, you'll get:
- Real immersion in wild places, from the Maasai Mara and Serengeti to the Indian jungles and even the icy Arctic
- Animal behavior photography tips so you can anticipate those rare moments
- Support for all levels, from total beginners to seasoned shooters looking to get even closer to their creative vision
My Approach to Mentorship
I'm right there with you, not just teaching camera settings, but sharing everything I've learned - how to get low for intimacy, use natural frames, work with tricky light, and wait for that look in the animal's eyes. Every outing is a hands-on, on-location wildlife photography workshop. No two days are the same, and honestly, that's what I love about it.
Where We Go
- Kenya & Tanzania for big cats and migrations
- India for tigers and those jungle giants
- Brazil's Pantanal for jaguars
- The Arctic for polar bears
If you want to feel the pulse of the wild and tell nature’s story through your lens, I’d love to have you along.

My Story
We’ve always had this wild streak, you know? Cats, big tuskers, that rush of catching a cheetah mid-chase—it’s addictive. That ‘Flying Hunt’ shot, it wasn’t just a photo, it was a heartbeat. Amboseli’s Craig is like an old friend now, not just a subject. Nikon Creator badge? Yeah, that’s a big deal, but for us, it’s really about telling the stories that live in every frame. This is our way of fighting for the wild.
My Work
Wildlife Photography & Expeditions - We do private and group tours, predator behaviour photography, mentorship, and sell fine art prints.
Immersive Safari Experience - It’s not just clicking photos. We chase dream shots and respect the simple, real moments too.
Ground-Level Shooting Approach - We shoot from the ground for dramatic wildlife shots, even if it means sore knees.
Mentorship & Artistry - We help you see wildscapes fresh, turn record shots into art, and guide aspiring photographers.
