My work as a wildlife photographer has taken me into remote and demanding environments, where patience, discretion and perseverance are essential to observing animals in their natural habitat.

Ethiopia — Chebera Churchura National Park

I have travelled to Ethiopia several times, including to Chebera Churchura National Park, one of the country’s remaining strongholds for African forest elephants.

There, I have spent time documenting these remarkable animals in their natural environment, observing their behaviour and the fragile ecosystem they depend on.

My connection with Chebera Churchura goes beyond photography. During my time in the park, I became increasingly aware of the challenges facing its wildlife and the importance of protecting this unique ecosystem.

This experience led me to create Wild Breath, an association dedicated to supporting the conservation of Chebera Churchura National Park and raising awareness of the wildlife and habitats it protects. For visit the association’s website here: https://wildbreath.net/

Ethiopian Wolf — The Highlands of Ethiopia.

I have also travelled to the Ethiopian highlands to document the Ethiopian wolf, one of the world's rarest canids and a species found nowhere else on Earth.

Working in these high-altitude landscapes required long periods of observation, patience and a discreet approach in order to photograph these elusive animals without disturbing them.

These experiences have profoundly shaped my approach to wildlife photography.

I am drawn to species that are difficult to find and difficult to photograph — animals whose survival is closely connected to the landscapes they inhabit.

For me, wildlife photography is not simply about capturing a beautiful image. It is about spending enough time in the field to understand the animal, its environment and the challenges it faces.

The photograph is ultimately a way of telling that story.
