Artist Statement:
I am fortunate enough to have
a job that I enjoy and at the
same time I can practice my
favourite hobby – photography.
For years people have been
asking me why I don’t set up a
web site and publish some
shots of interesting animal
behaviour or just shots that I
get when I am on my safaris.
Guiding photographic and
walking safaris in some of the
most remote, unspoilt areas of
wilderness left today gives me
the ideal opportunity to see
interesting and rare
interaction between various
species of animals and birds,
this in turn gives me the
chance to capture it on
camera.
With many of my guests being
avid photographers the days
usually start before sun up
making sure we are out in the
bush for first light and
taking full advantage of those
critical first few hours of
light. Generally we make it
back to camp for the mid day
break when the temperatures
and the light are not
conducive to being out in the
bush and then head out again
early afternoon to catch the
afternoon light and hopefully
some obliging subjects to
photograph!
Being based in Northern
Botswana for most of the year

| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Lately I developed an interest for “Abstracted Wildlife Pictures”
My pictures do not conform to established figurative rules, yet one can still depict the visible world of objects and nature, thus describing the pictures as abstracted wildlife.

| Your Personal Biography |
I was born in Zimbabwe and grew up in remote areas of the lowveld alongside the Gonarézhou National Park. My childhood therefore was spent in the bush and from an early age I had a keen interest in all things natural.
I am fortunate enough to have a job that I enjoy and at the same time I can practice my favourite hobby – photography. Guiding photographic and walking safaris in some of the most remote, unspoilt areas of wilderness left today gives me the ideal opportunity to see interesting and rare interaction between various species of animals and birds; this in turn gives me the chance to capture it on camera.
