About me

I’m Mark, a wildlife photographer based in South Africa. For 19+ years I’ve photographed Africa’s wildlife, and today I also teach photographers how to take and edit better wildlife photos.

I picked up a camera in April 2007, and a weekend workshop with the late Chris Van Rooyen in 2008 turned it into a passion for wildlife. Today I live in Hoedspruit, and I still go looking for big storms, unusual light and rare wildlife encounters.
