There is something magical and beautiful when you observe elephants. It touches your soul and touches your heart.

I fell in love with black and white photography after discovering Don McCullins’ book ‘A Retrospective’ while on a lunch break in the city of London, where I worked as a money broker during the ’80s/’90s. I then fell in love with wildlife artists Kim Donaldson’s and David Shepherd’s work; they both had a big influence on my color photography and style.

It was a wonderful moment as my wife Nicolinah and baby son Neo, 3 years, were in the car with me as I photographed the family of elephants protecting their newborn. At times they were upset when the bull was kicking the baby elephant, his shrieks and cries affected us all. They asked me to leave the sighting as they struggled to deal with the events. Fortunately, the herd rallied around the baby, allowing me to capture “Bonds of Love.” And we left feeling happier.

I love black and white photography, all genres. But have a passion for wildlife and landscape. Creating artwork relaxes and destresses me, allows me to reconnect with nature, and nourishes my soul. In my opinion, people connect in a positive emotional way to my fine-art prints. Bringing them a moment of happiness, joy, or remembering a personal memory.
