entry description
A trio of cheetahs, mother on the left and her two cubs, caught in the rain in Ndutu, Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania. Knowing that the cheetahs would periodically shake themselves off to try and get dry, I waited for this moment and just as the cub began to shake itself off, I made this image. It was a wonderful bonus to capture the expression of the last cub, trying to avoid getting sprayed.about the photographer
To me, photography is the art of telling a story without words and through my images I try to bring those stories to life. Stories that convey a sense of place, of scale and context, the emotion of a moment, the awe of a spectacle, of love, of struggle, of life and death. Through these images I hope to kindle an interest in the wild, a curiosity to know more about the natural world, to bolster conservation and to challenge a new generation to get out there and explore the wonders of our planet.back to gallery
