In early April 2014, I had (and indeed sought out) the opportunity to do a ‘photo report’ in the slums of Nairobi, where a friend was working for MSF. Nothing official, at my own expense, simply because I liked the idea. And also in the secret hope of securing other opportunities of a similar nature. The photos were very well received, but it didn’t lead to much else (apart from some wonderful encounters).

A horizontal colour photograph of the façade of a corrugated-sheet house in the heart of one of Nairobi’s slums. White and yellow inscriptions, in English and Kiswahili, cover the corrugated sheets, calling for peace. A very faded red fabric with white patterns serves as the front door. The uneven floor is made of compacted earth. To the right, a rabbit hutch, also made of corrugated metal sheets, can be seen. /// Photo couleur horizontale d'une façade d'habitation en tôle au cœur d'un des bidonvilles de Nairobi. Des inscriptions blanches et jaunes, en anglais et kiswahili, couvrent les tôles ondulées, appelant à la paix. Un tissus rouge très délavé avec des motifs blanc sert de porte d'entrée. Le sol inégal est de terre battue. On distingue à droite un clapier, lui-même en tôles ondulées.

Day 239 - Dawn from Mombassa, Kenya 2016

Dawn over the Indian Ocean from Mombasa, Kenya, captured in 2016. The horizon glows with deep amber and gold as sunlight breaks through scattered clouds, reflecting across calm water. The beach in the foreground lies in soft shadow, while the sky transitions from dark purple and grey to vivid orange, creating a serene and luminous start to the day.

Nature's mobile cleaning service in action. 🦏✨
Oxpeckers and White Rhinos share one of the savanna's most recognizable mutualistic relationships. The birds get a steady meal of parasites, and the rhino gets pest control, plus an early warning system, as oxpeckers hiss whenever danger approaches.

A close-up of a rhinoceros in a grassy field, with several small birds perched on its back. The rhinoceros has visible wrinkles and scars, and the surrounding landscape is sparse with tall grass.

The post-dinner hand clean. 🐒✨
After scarfing down a heavy meal, this olive baboon paused for a thorough cleanup. The warm evening light catching every bit of fluff on its back was just the icing on the cake.

A close-up of a baboon with a thoughtful expression, resting its chin on its hand, surrounded by a blurred natural background.

Finishing up the evening feast in style. 🍽️🐒

Caught this olive baboon giving its hand a thorough post-meal polish just as the last rays of light caught the rim of its fur.

Close-up portrait of an olive baboon in Kenya with warm evening light outlining its fur, licking its fingers after eating against a soft background.

Golden hour at The Ark Lodge, Aberdare NP, Kenya. The family of elephants were so close to each other, a family at the waterhole, no tension at all. Hard to describe what it’s like being that near to something so wild and so gentle at once.

Three elephants are shown standing closely together. The image captures their textures and features, with one elephant displaying tusks. The background is blurred, focusing attention on the elephants.

Golden hour at The Ark Lodge, Aberdare National Park, Kenya. This herd let us observe remarkably close, close enough to see how close they were to each other. No tension, just a family at the waterhole in the last warm light of the day. One of those moments where photographing it felt secondary to just being there.

Three elephants are shown standing closely together. The image captures their textures and features, with one elephant displaying tusks. The background is blurred, focusing attention on the elephants. A group of three elephants, including a baby elephant, is interacting closely in a black and white setting, highlighting their textures and details.
