• If your photography could speak, what would it say about you?

I am a keen student of the natural world and like to record animal behavior.

• Is there a place or environment where you feel most yourself as a photographer?

I love being in a natural setting either alone, or with one or two like-minded

photographers, observing, discussing and recording animal behavior.

• What is the most meaningful photo you have ever taken, and why?

There are several photographs that are significant to me but this one portrays the split

seconds between life and death.

• If you could describe your photography in one feeling, what would it be?

‘the excitement of gaining new knowledge’

• From the photographs exhibited in Decagon, is there one that holds personal meaning for you?

It is a hard decision between two images. I became a keen student of wildlife when my

parents took me to a film called ‘Serengeti shall not die’ with its great migration and

cheetah chases.

‘Hunting to Survive’ and the ‘Great Migration’ in Decagon's ‘Planet Earth’ exhibition were both dreams fulfilled.
