The fate of the rhino has long been, and remains today, in the balance. Once widespread they are declining in number frighteningly quickly and as a result stand on the precipice of extinction.

When shooting white rhino images on Ol Pejeta, I was aiming to create something that depicted the rhinos struggle but also exemplify their unrivalled nature - gentle, curious and ultimately calm.

Accompanied by one of the conservancies fantastic rangers, Simon Nakito, we found a pair of white rhino as a storm brewed over Mt. Kenya. Needing to photograph one on its own to make the composition work, we waited for them to venture far enough apart from each other and with Simon’s expert supervision I was able to lie flat on the ground and silhouette the beautiful rhino against the storm clouds.

Creating this would not have been possible without the incredible co-operation of the team at Ol Pejeta and it’s my sincere hope that we are able to use it to raise much needed funds for the invaluable work they do safe guarding the future of one of the planets oldest and most iconic species.
