The cover image of the November issue of Africa Geographic features a photograph of a breaching Humpback whale that I took earlier in the year off South Africa's Wild Coast. Another image of a breaching whale images also opens this months cover story Humpback Heaven

The November 2007 issue of Africa Geographic features a 10 page portfolio of my images titled Wild Seas, which coincides with the launch of my latest book Wild Seas Secret Shores of Africa. The portfolio features underwater and coastal images showing diverse subjects from pilot whales and whale sharks, to jellyfish and cape fur seals.

A 10 page portfolio of shark pictures taken in the seas off Africa was published BBC Wildlife Magazine in November. It features tiger, blacktip, mako and leopard catsharks.

   

For a feature published in the October issue of BBC Wildlife I took a break from the sea and spent some time in South Africa's heartland. Travelling with BBC Wildlife Editor Sophie Stafford I photographed the game capture industry and wildlife vets at work.  Microchipping rhinos one day and darting flighty black wildebeest from helicopters the next.

My photograph of a web footed gecko taken in 2006 in the Nambia's Namib Desert graces the cover of the July issue of Africa Geographic.

 

 

The July 2007 issue of Africa Geographic features my 10 page portfolio Planet Namib. The photographs were taken during a extended stay in the sandy wilderness of the world's oldest desert, the Namib. Over several weeks, using wide angle lenses, dual flashes and techniques normally only associated with underwater photography I stalked the desert reptile and insect fauna to document a strange and alien world. Spiders that dance, geckos that lick their eyeballs to drink, cannabalistic crickets, racing beetles and surfing snakes are all home on Planet Namib. To see more of life on Planet Namib click here.

My feature story Dances with Squid was published in the April issue of Africa Geographic Magazine. The results of 1 month of diving and photographing in the deep, dark and cold seas off the southern cape coast  documenting the annual courting and mating rituals of millions of chokka squid.
