Wildlife
Africa transformed us.
It taught us some of life’s biggest lessons. It taught us how to coexist in harmony, with respect & devotion to Nature. It taught us to overcome fears. It taught us to look beyond the obvious. It taught us to work with elements, rather than against them, to create art.
We struggled with the heatwave that made many of our shots hazy and unclear. We had a set vision for a shot, but no matter what we tried, it just didn’t work. At one moment we stopped, let go of control & tried something different. That is how The Oasis was born.
It took us three trips, three years, and numerous safaris to capture the shot of lion brothers. The moment of their interaction captured was truly worth all the effort.
Every image taken is a raw and authentic moment, something we value and cherish as photographers.
This collection of images is a composition of our artistic view on the wild.
