Lady with the Goose II (Silver Gelatin Print)
Yunnan Province, China – 2008
“Whim and humor are two of the qualities I look for in an image. I photographed this Lisu woman from one of the Tibetan minorities in China, as she took her pet goose for a walk in a street market in the southwestern corner of China. The image, made with an old single reflex Yashica camera, always makes me smile.”

How the Leopard Got its Spots
Segera, Kenya – 2025
This piece was created in Segera, a private conservancy in northern Kenya where the ancient rhythms of the African savannah unfold in golden silence. The image captures a solitary leopard sitting alone on an asutere branch—a moment of wild grace that speaks to my desire to bear witness to the poetry of the natural world.
Presented in two editions—one in colour and one in black and white—this work offers dual perspectives on a single truth. The colour print immerses the viewer in the sensory intensity of the place: the gentle warmth of the rising sun, the perfect camouflage of the predator’s coat, the breathless tension of its quiet stare. It is a study in harmony, in how light and form meet to express the fleeting beauty of the now.
In contrast, the black and white edition is a meditation in minimalism. Devoid of pigment, it leans into abstraction, where the negative space and muscular lines of the leopard become pure composition. The image becomes not just a document of an encounter, but a statement of visual philosophy: that nature’s design is its own form of art.
What I was trying to convey with this image is the quiet assertion that art and ecology are inseparable. No ecosystem exists in isolation. Just as the leopard governs balance in the grasslands, so too do its actions ripple outward—to forests, to rivers, and ultimately to the sea.
This photograph is not merely a visual experience; it is an invitation to contemplate the interconnectedness of all life. In owning this piece, one acquires not only a work of art, but a testament to the wild intelligence of Earth itself.

High King
Tanzania, Africa – 2025
Resting high on his kopje throne, a large male lion keeps watch over the Namiri Plains of Tanzania. These ancient granite outcrops rise like islands from the grasslands, offering shade, perspective, and a natural fortress. Here, the air is still, and every movement on the plain below is noticed. Lions in this region thrive thanks to a strong prey base and an ecosystem kept intact by years of careful protection. To see a male like this–well-fed, alert, and unbothered by nearby rivals–is to witness nature as it was always meant to be.

Super Cub (aka Cubby)
Tanzania, Africa – 2025
As I was sitting with this beautiful pride of lions and Tanzania, I was lost in dreams of flying over the Great Plains of Africa. It was always my favourite scene in the wonderful movie out of Africa, where Robert Redford takes Meryl Streep flying and I knew that I was gonna do that someday as well.I swore to myself at the time that if this photograph of this baby male lion staring deep into my lens turned out that I was gonna call it super cub. Super cub is the ultimate aircraft for flying around Africa. It is a short field aircraft where you can land and take off in areas as short as 100 feet. It is my dream aircraft. And I know it’ll be an aircraft that all allow us to get into the remote parts of Africa. I’ve always been a photographer, but I’ve also always been a conservationist. I need to be doing the two in tandem. The best way I can think of working in Africa with the various conservancies and conservation groups is having a small airplane to fly between them to do photography, meet the players and help effect change. the first release from my new lion series taken in the Namiri Plains of Tanzania.
Life on the savannah can be perilous for a lion cub, but being born into a large, healthy pride offers protection. Mothers, aunts, and sisters cooperate to nurse and guard the young, while dominant males defend the pride from outside threats. Danger remains ever-present: rival males, predators, and harsh conditions mean survival is never guaranteed. The most meaningful way we can ensure a future for young, curious cubs like this is to keep ecosystems intact and allow nature the space to thrive.

The Girl On The Vespa
The timeless island of Procida, in the Bay of Naples, has caught the eye of film directors of stature. Anthony Minghella was drawn to it and made full use of it in The Talented Mr Ripley and in the same era, Il Postino: The Postman was shot almost entirely on the island.
I like the island, not just for its worn facades or the artisan life that defines it, but because there is a strong sense of place in almost every location. The still camera can capture that vibe in a single frame, which is quite rare and always encourages me.
This little street – used by Minghella – caught my eye because the camera lens must point up as the road is on a steep slope. This allows for a wider narrative behind the subject and if we travel to somewhere as special as Procida, we want to include as much context as possible. A road with a steep incline is almost always good news.
In the first 58 years of my life, I never traveled to Procida and then, in the space of eight months, I went there five times. Someone tracking my movements – and thankfully I don’t think anyone is bored enough or interested enough to do so – would suspect something was up. They would be right, though it was nothing more than a new obsession – like a dog with a new bone. I knew there was stuff to do here, and I needed to let it all soak in.
Alessandra Ambrosio nailed her role as “The girl on the vespa”, but this was far from her first rodeo, and even at 06.20 am she looks too good to be true. Everything else was intuitive – including, of course, a Maradona shirt on the laundry line. That shirt is part of every street in the Bay of Naples

A Room With A View
If locations had the right to be called “heaven on earth”, then the Amalfi Coast would fancy its chances of owning it and not being mocked. There are not many places I know that can get away with that. The timeless beauty and dramatic location of communities such as Atrani are well known; the dramatic peninsula attracts five million visitors a year despite car journeys that are not for the faint hearted. This is no secret garden.
Making this photograph of the generational supermodel Alessandra Ambrosio in Atrani needed some thought. It was a good premise, with some world class constituents, but we could not afford to be creatively lame.
We knew a modest B&B with one room whose balcony had the right view of Atrani. But my sense was that it needed an extra variable to give that emphatic sense of place. My leaning was to construct a lemon grove – as the fruit is symbolic of the region. In the Bay of Naples, lemons are Jurassic; almost as if they have evolved differently from everywhere else and when they come together on a grove, it offers a visual feast.
This was not an easy set and the people who made it happen were the locals of Atrani: the Mayor; the Chief of Police; the landlord and the lemon gardener. It was a true team effort. There is such a sense of community here and that is what makes the Amalfi Coast truly special. The hilltop scenery, the azure sea, the food and the wine all transcend at some level, but it’s the people living and working behind Alessandra in this photograph who make the location so special.
It is a “Room with a view” – a view of a proper community.

Bellissimo (Colour)
Bellisimo
Archival Pigment Print
Neapolitans are intensely proud people – “Vedi Napoli e poi muori” goes the local proverb (see Napoli and die). That pride is well deserved given the city’s unique well-worn beauty, the visual splendour of Vesuvius and the Bay of Naples and then the palpable sense of community that has been consistently nurtured generation after generation. Throw in the archaeological treasure trove of Pompeii, culinary preeminence, Diego Maradona and Napoli FC and this is an ancient city that never stops giving.
Like being Texan, being Neapolitan assures a certain state of mind, but unlike Texas, that state of mind may have been on offer for 3000 years. The area has been continuously inhabited since 1000 BC – one of the oldest such cases in the world – and this has probably worked against radical urban redevelopment. I sense that there has never been a real window of opportunity to establish modernity and the reward is what we can now all see.
Undeniably poor in parts, and chaotic almost everywhere, Napoli is raw and untamed, but that is what makes it artistically captivating. What the inner city lacks in serenity, it makes up for in adrenalin. Driving a car here is a combative Olympic sport, not just a means of getting from A to B.
In filtering down to what is truly core to the city, I sense that two constituents simply cannot be removed – food and football. That is not to say that the other associations are emphatically weaker, but these two are surely integral to the fabric of the Paris of the South.
I was fortunate to be working in town last Friday when Napoli FC landed the Serie A title for the 4th time in the club’s history. Forza Napoli and Forza Scott McTominay. And it was also a treat to work with Alessandra Ambrosio, who despite huge fame, has never really changed at all.
There have been many photographs taken in the Bay of Naples of girls eating pasta over the years and I wanted a fresh composition. This image of the celebrated Alessandra Ambrosio eating vongole on the roof of the famous Grand Hotel Parker’s has a definite sense of place for sure.
It’s always the small things and I like the one glass in this shot – the most notorious volcano in the world and we get to see it twice in one frame.
