ABOUT MY PORTFOLIO
Wildlife has always held a special place in my heart. Be it the awe-inspiring landscapes that you encounter, the restlessness of the migrating animals I witness, or the excitement of a cheetah hunt I have had the opportunity to watch, the adventures I have on these trips always become timeless memories. This is a compilation of my favorite pictures from more than two decades of wildlife experiences, captured over the years in various places from Norway to Namibia. It is my hope that the unique creatures and scenes that I have been privileged enough to witness will inspire other travelers to understand and appreciate the value of our natural world, a world that is threatened daily by human-animal conflict, political instability, pollution, and industrialization.
ABOUT ME
I am an avid photographer with a lifetime of experience in photography. I have always been interested in photographing everything from flower pots to lion hunts, but I can safely say that my greatest passion lies in capturing wildlife, particularly in Africa, not just for the animals but for my love for the region.
