A Deer in the Headlights
We are very species agnostic in our photography and believe that any animal in the wild, be they the iconic cats, elephants or rhinos or the unheralded plains game, can make for striking and beautiful imagery.
We have travelled extensively in Africa, and to a limited degree in India, for our photography.

entry description
An impala, which is a common antelope in Africa, decides to pose in front of the rising sun, to dramatic effect. The image was deliberately under-exposed so as to not lose the highlights in the sun. Most sunrise or sunset silhouettes are in colour, with the deep orange hues being the dramatic hero of the images. In this image, we wanted the unsung impala to be the hero and chose the less usual black and white treatment.We are very species agnostic in our photography and believe that any animal in the wild, be they the iconic cats, elephants or rhinos or the unheralded plains game, can make for striking and beautiful imagery.
