      FINE ART PRINTS 


      • Album
      "SENTINEL'S THRONE *001 - Sitting along the cruve of the trunk of an ancient tree, a young leopardess surveys the landscape from above. Though her posture appears relaxed, her gaze remains sharp and scanning the open grasslands below. This is not a moment of action, but awareness, a quiet pause.
Kwando Lagoon Concession, Botswana. -Peoples Choice 2023-
      "FIERCE" *002 - An adult lion known as Osupat, moves through the grass, when the savanna begins to come alive again. His steady stride and focused gaze reflect the quiet authority of an experienced predator full in command of his territory.
Scars across his face and body and the weight of his dark mane hint at past confrontations and survival, reminders that dominance in the wild is never permanent but earned. 
Olare Motorogi Conservancy, Kenya.
      "MIGHTY KING" *003 - Osupat, one of the iconic males of Mara, unleashes a powerful roar across the savannah. More than a display of strength, his call is a declaration of territory, dominance, and survival in one of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife landscapes.
Olare Motorogi Conservation, Kenya. -Best 100 Photographers 2023 One Eyeland-
      "AS ONE" 004 - A herd of impalas gathers on the plains of Serengeti, Tanzania. Seen from behind, individual animals merge into a single visual form. The repeating patterns of bodies, tails and horns reveal the strength of collective behaviour, where survival depends not on the individual, but on the unity of the group.  Serengeti National Park, Tanzania.
      "SUNRISE FOG" *005 - The misty dawn at Mana Pools is not silent. It arrives with low grunts, the rustle of dry winter grass, and the heavy breath of the herd. In the cool, golden-violet light, the Cape Buffaloes emerge from the fading night like shapes being carved from solid shadow. Their great, bossed horns curl against the slowly brightening sky, crowns of ancient strength. A haze spills across the floodplain, wrapping the herd in luminous veil. Some animals became spectres, their hindquarters dissolving into brilliance, only their heads and shoulders remaining solid and real. Other stand clear in the foreground, detailed and dust coated, watching with timeless gaze. The legends of the floodplain, embodiments of an Africa that is both tender and immense.
      "THE QUEEN NABULU" *006 - Nabulu, one of Samburu’s iconic lionesses, pauses in quiet contemplation. Her steady gaze reflects the grace, resilience, and strength that define the queens of Africa’s northern wilderness.
Samburu National Reserve, Kenya.
      "MARSH PRIDE CUB" *007 - With one paw raised and not a care in the world, a young cub of the Marsh Pride reminds us that even Africa’s most powerful predators begin life in moments of innocence and play.
Mara North Conservancy, Narok, Kenya.
-BRONZE MEDAL-ONE EYELAND Wildlife Photography 2023-
      "RELIC OF THE RUFIJI RIVER" *08 - Along the shores of the Rufiji River, a Nile crocodile moves between water and land, his presence feels both timeless and prehistoric. Through monochrome tones and layered textures, the image evokes the enduring power of a species shaped by millions of years of evolution.
Selous National Park, Southern Tanzania.
      "SUNSET STROLL" 009 - OPEN EDITION
Baby elephants walking side by side behind their mother. Naboisho Conservancy, Narok, Kenya.
      "COME ALONG" *010 - OPEN EDITION
A reticulated giraffe staring an ox-pecker flickering around him. Samburu National Reserve, Central Kenya.
      "KEEPERS OF THE HIDE" *011 - Perched across the living canvas of a giraffe's patterned hide, yellow-billed oxpeckers gather as the giraffe feeds on an acacia tree.  Their coexistence forms a subtle alliance, cleaning parasites while the giraffe offers both sustenance and shelter. 
serengeti National Park, Tanzania. -Platinum Statuette MUSE AWARS 2024-
      "THE OLD MAASAI SAGE" *012 - OPEN EDITION
An old man from a maasai tribe, stares pensivly while the rest of the young warriors perform their traditional chants, jumps and dances. Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania.
      "CUTIE IN PINK" *013 - OPEN EDITION
A baby giraffe resting in the dry grasslands after feeding from her mother. South Luangwa National Park, Zambia.
      "BEFORE THE FIRST MOVE" *014 - A young leopardess rested on the gnarled branches of an ancient tree as the late afternoon light softened across the grasslands. She had spent hours moving through the tree, climbing from branch to branch before settling in an elevated position overlooking the open terrain below. From this vantage point she remained alert, scanning the surrounding landscape as a sable bull moved slowly across the distant grassland in the fading light.
Kwando Lagoon Concession, Botswana.
      "CONTEMPLATION" *015 - A lioness poses in perfect stillness, seemingly unbothered by the tiny fly resting on her nose, a reminder that even Africa’s most formidable predators share their world with the smallest of creatures. 
Samburu National Park, Central Kenya.
-One Eyeland book "Best of the Best photographers 2024"-
      LIGHTING THE FIRE *016 - A young Maasai man from the Ngorongoro area, demonstrates an ancient skill passed down through generations, creating fire by friction using nothing more than two pieces of wood, patience, and tradition. In a rapidly changing world, these timeless practices continue to keep the spirit of Maasai culture alive.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania.

      "INNOCENCE" *017 - his curious cub stealthily approached our vehicle few meters away and with innocent gaze leant on a fallen tree, while mother and siblings where watching closeby.  Attentive and visibly sleepy he ended up falling asleep on the trunk. 
This cub belongs to the Oldikidiki Pride. They are fifteen in number: five females, eight cubs and two males.

Olare Motorogi Conservancy, Narok, Kenya.
      "SAMBURU WARRIOR" *018 - His profile is timeless. During a tribal celebration in ILNgwesi village, this young Samburu man becomes a portrait of cultural pride, where tradition, identity, and ancestry converge in a single moment.
IL Ngwesi, Laikipia, Northern Kenya.
      "UNITY IS STRENGTH" *019 - A small herd of Cape buffaloes emerged from the shadows. Their horns glowing like polished steel, while dust swirled around them in quiet reverence.
The leader stepped forward first, steady, unshaken, aware of every sound in the bush. Behind him, the others followed in a tight formation, their bodies touching, their breath rising in the cool winter air. In Mana Pools, survival isn't just instinct, its a shared promise.
Mana Pools National Park. Zimbabwe.
