Everybody knows what a lion looks like...

...so why show them the same picture again?
Most of the tourists that go to Africa for a safari get excited about the new environment and animals. That's ok and I know cos I've been there and done that :) The first two days they tend to take photos of every zebra and antelope that are in a 300 meter range. The sad part is that when they come home they discover that the web is full of "their" photos. The next trip(if they do one) they've learned their lesson and will take "deeper" pictures. Everybody with a camera can take photos of the magnificent animals of Africa, but only few will tell a story with them. So it's a good thing to have an experienced photographer with you in a car who will make sure that you won't fill your cards with "someone else's pictures".
It takes a vision to tell a different story. But even if you're an amateur, you can learn to be a storyteller. BigWildPhoto Adventures will provide you the guidelines, backgrounds and characters for you story. I will assist you and be your editor so that you can enjoy creating your bestseller.

This is one of my first photos from Kenya. I was driving to Masai Mara, but I stopped for
every animal on the way. It took 7 hours to get to the park... I was SO excited :)
This is from my third trip when i started to take pics only
when the light was good enough :)

Do you see the difference... ;)
