Her eyes mimicking the wall behind her and the spots of green in her clothes makes this compelling. The contrasting orange places all the focus on her eyes. Wild eyes, maybe scared. The viewer can’t look away and that makes it a masterpiece.

It’s no secret that wildlife and nature photography is a male-dominated area. More men enter wildlife photography competitions and more men win. The first female winner of the Wildlife Photographer of the year was in 1…Read More

Landie, I was taken aback to hear about the discrimination you faced, especially in a field that should ideally be free from gender bias. Women have every right to engage in wildlife photography just as much as men do. There’s no reason why you should back off or limit your subject matter based on outdated expectations.
Your work is a compelling…Read More

Thank you Danie. I was quite shocked at the time.
I feel this is in the same category as a lion on a kill or a leopard in a tree with a kill. But it was not received with the same awe for raw nature. Perhaps because baboons are not viewed as hunters?Understandably people won’t print this as A0 and hang it on a wall. But just viewing the m…Read More

Landie, as a female wildlife photographer, I totally understand where you are coming from. The reason why we are wildlife photographers is because we are the voices in the wild. We are blessed with witnessing a moment and share it with someone not so fortunate…We tell the story, it’s got nothing to do with gender👍

TUTOR
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.
These Penguins are listed as one of the most endangered specie. I love your composition👍
