◆ WHAT PHOTOGRAPHERS SAY
Our guide positioned us downwind of a cheetah hunt at 6am. Engine off. Perfect light. The sequence I captured in those 40 minutes has been published twice and won a regional award. None of it happens without our guide's reading of that morning.
Peter V. · Belgium · 2024
I have been on seven safaris across Africa. This was the first time I came home and felt my photographs matched what I actually saw. The positioning, the timing, the patience — everything was built around the image.
