An Endangered Bearded Vulture soars over an iconic African scene high up in the Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa. This image has a very special place in my heart. It represents so much of what I love about the Drakensberg in South Africa and specifically Giant’s Castle; dramatic skies, magical light, wrinkled mountains and incredible wildlife. It makes me wonder about birds and the God of wonder. It speaks to me of quiet, contemplative moments and answers to prayer.

Nature photography has become a very passionate hobby of mine and whenever I get a chance I love to get outside and enjoy being outdoors. I am also the co-owner of KGM Expressions, a wedding and portrait photography business, with my wife Kim. This is how we make our living and I love that we get to do that together.
