Want insights as to how I photograph species and spaces?

Photography for me is really all about light and the myraid of ways light behaves at different latitudes, times of day, depth, seasons and weather. I remember an inspirational African wildlife photographer commenting how surprised he was that people always chase the sighting and not the lighting - that an image of a greatly lit springbok is so more powerful than that of a poorly lit lion.

To craft great photos requires an understanding, appreciation and respect of your subjects. In a nutshell if you want a decent pic of a lion, you need to think like a lion.

I like to think my images are crafted, not taken, a mindset that shifts my photography from a mechanical light-grabbing, snapping process to a conscious, ethical, participatory and artistic experience. As a prior academic biologist, I believe I have a deep understanding subject behaviours and of allowing subjects control any interaction.

I am more than happy to share my experience through tuition, courses, advice and consulation on how I achieve my imagery through a blend of technical expertise, ceativity, and ethical, patient and mindful photography.
