Rhino’s are generally very shy and somewhat secretive animals and finding them standing out in the open posing for a camera is certainly not an everyday occurence, not for me anyway. On a trip to Lake Nakuru in Kenya last year I made my way down to the lake shores one afternoon to photograph the flamingoes, but upon arriving, here stood this magnificent Rhino right out in the open with a beautiful backdrop gracing the scene. The contrasts of the scene were intense and screamed black and white to me and for one brief moment the Rhino lifted his head up and looked straight at me. This print is available on a selection of Hahnemule fine art papers and canvas.

Today I’ve released another print in my growing Maasai Mara Fine Art Wildlife Collection. Cheetah‘s are no doubt the king’s of speed on the grassland plains of the Maasai Mara. The Mara provides the most ideal setting for Cheetah where they can often be found out in the open uncluttered by trees, shrubs or any other obstacles. This Cheetah, part of a group of 3, sat gazing off into the distance no doubt looking for a nice Thomson’s Gazelle for dinner.

Another image release in my new collection of prints from the Maasai Mara. Leopards (Panthera pardus) truly are stealth hunters and are very agile in all aspects. We spent a while tracking this leopard on a morning drive in the Maasai Mara and it turned out to be quite entertaining. We watched this beautiful cat stalk some Dik-Dik’s who turned out to be far too clever for this leopard and quickly darted off into the bush once they caught scent of the leopard. Thereafter the leopard started moving through the river bed and this is when I captured this image. This image has a very slight sepia warming tone to the image which is not very noticeable in this small web preview.
