This signature style has brought him international acclaim and he has recently exhibited with the National Geographic Society in London.
The exhibit titled ‘Africa’ sold out and his next exhibit with the National Geographic is planned to open in Singapore in January of 2012. His work has hung in the London and Sydney Natural History Museums and he has hosted private exhibitions as far a field as New York. He regularly places in the most prestigious photographic competitions in the world and he has delivered photographic presentations from South Africa to Finland.
While his work is widely published, he has also been interviewed by the BBC World Service and has appeared on the NBC’s Today Show. He is not only a passionate photographer, but also a passionate African who communicates his personal appreciation and awe for wild creatures, through his work. His dynamic collections represent scenes captured in the camera, as apposed to being digitally manipulated on a computer afterwards and his dynamic body of work has been meticulously collected after living permanently in the wilds of Africa for more than eight years. He is a photographer who picks his frames carefully, and one, that spends many months each year, waiting patiently to capture nature’s most special and intimate moments.
