How did your career start?

I'm a wildlife biologist, and was fortunate to visit some incredible places as part of my university studies. I wanted to show my family the amazing wildlife I saw, so I bought a bridge camera after a trip to Madagascar, and there began my accidental journey into wildlife photography.

Which of your photographs is most significant to you?

I captured a lioness just after she'd brought down a wildebeest in the Serengeti. As she began to eat, she looked up at me for a split second - her muzzle was absolutely covered in blood. This image kickstarted my career as a wildlife photographer, after it was awarded in the 2021 Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition. It's a powerful reminder of the beauty and brutality of nature.

What's your most memorable shoot?
