When I first started travelling to Africa, I had a series of images, a “shot list”, that I had in mind that I would like to make. Over the years, I have managed to make some of these images whilst adding many more to the list. Amongst these images are the iconic images of African wildlife silhouetted against an intense red sunrise or sunset.

Watching this lioness feeding on an eland that she and her sister had recently killed in the Chyulu Hills National Park in Kenya, I was struck by a sense of her power.

Sitting in the sunken hide at the side of the waterhole, I had an incredibly close up view from ground level of the elephants as they came to drink.
