For many months last year, my camera trap quietly monitored a remote river crossing in a forested corner of the Maasai Mara.

For me, the Congo rainforest is the epitome of wilderness.

As a Sony Ambassador, I often have the opportunity to test out the latest Sony equipment.

As I stood on the edge of the Oloololo escarpment, looking out over the Maasai Mara, an occasional glint of light reflected off a distant vehicle and reminded me that the planes below teem with safari vehicles.

Over the past two years, I have spent a great deal of time at Shompole Wilderness Camp in Kenya’s Southern Rift Valley.

I recently had the honour of speaking at TEDxNoVA in Lisbon, Portugal.

It seems I am quite lucky when it comes to rare black cats.

In early 2019, I released my first images of a black leopard in Kenya.

Lockdown meant putting my photography projects on hold but gave me time to develop a new BeetleCam to replace the one that I’ve been using since 2013.

As I was winding up the fieldwork for Land of Giants, I shifted focus to another of Tsavo’s majestic inhabitants: Black Rhino.
