In wildlife photography and filmmaking, patience is everything. 🌌 Every journey into the wild starts with hope – the hope to witness something extraordinary and to capture a moment that tells a story. But more often than usual, we return home with nothing. No photos, no footage, only the memory of stillness and the quiet beauty of nature.In this short film, I explore the true essence of patience as a wildlife photographer & filmmaker. Join me as I share the reality behind my adventures, where waiting in silence becomes a meditation and the journey itself becomes as meaningful as any shot with a camera.

I started my wildlife photography journey with nothing but a passion for capturing what I had seen unfold before me for years.
Determined I could achieve that, I set out with the most basic equipment, and eventually, my efforts were rewarded.
I, fortunately, love travel and being in my own company, so I spend months on the road in perfect partnership with the animals, great light, and the landscape. My confidence grew, and my images started to speak for themselves; so did my range of equipment, as did the awards.
My proudest moment was being made a Licentiate by the Photography Society of South Africa. I take so much pride in the steps I have taken, and it gives me such joy to see my work in magazines and hanging on walls of game lodges across Africa.
My philosophy is that anyone can acquire technical skills in photography. Still, you need heart, passion and a deep connection with what is around you to capture the finest of what Mother Nature has on offer.
