I think everyone knows by now (especially if you have been on safari with me), I have a slight obsession with photographing subject in their environment. This obsession certainly takes hold when I am in beautiful landscapes such as the Masai Mara. In fact I find myself reaching for my 24-70mm or 70-200mm more than any other lenses!
For me, the most impactful images are those that place a subject in a scene, and inadvertently tell a story. While I do love a perfectly lit portrait, I find that these images often have very little depth, and become boring to look at over time. An image where the scene is almost as impactful as the subject itself, often leaves you coming back to the image time and time again, as you up your own narrative.
Often when I post these images on social media, they get lost when looked at on a small screen. As my newsletter mostly gets viewed on desktops, I hope that these images get viewed bigger and don't leave you thinking “where is the animal"!
