November is the light rain season in the Masai Mara and this was a typical afternoon where the clouds built up from lunchtime, creating moody skies and storms on the horizon. Here we were fortunate to find a small elephant family crossing the plain as light burst through a gap in the foreboding sky.

Starting in 2007 my fascination with nature photography began.  In the years since, wildlife photography with a focus on birds has gone from a very passionate hobby of mine to become my career. I spend much of my free time in natural areas searching for birds and any other wildlife that comes along. I concentrate on using creative natural lighting and interesting compositions to capture unique images of common and rare wildlife. My favorite style is a more scenic photo that includes some of the habitat wildlife lives in. I also enjoy passing along the knowledge and experience that I have gathered over the years to other photographers who are eager to learn.
