Contact the photographer

A range of people doing interesting things. I hopeyou enjoy. I have to say people-shots are something I very rarely do!

Prints available from £1.99

One of my colleagues - and clearly another shutterbug - wastes no time snapping this Cheetah. I have to say we were pretty obsessive about photographing him, and spent most evenings with him. Poser.
This is the game capture business at its most glamorous - darting wild animals from a helicopter. My colleague pictured here was on a training flight, but on a real job anything is - literally - fair game.
Another shot representing the game capture industry. Here is another of my collegues learning how to use a dart gun from a helicopter - a key (and obviously very dangerous) part of capturing wild mammals in Africa.
Well I guess this shot pretty much sums up the elements involved in mass capture of wild animals. Basically, the chopper herds the animals along a 1-2 km long camouflaged fence, directing them into a narrower and narrower pathway until they enter the boma. Ground vehicles prevent them running back, and people on the ground run curtains across to keep them contained. Phew!
