About Andy

 

I am an avid adventurer, conservationist, teacher, and outdoor photographer whose photography celebrates the African landscape and its rich wildlife, people, and culture. My photographic safaris allow my travelers to not only enhance their understanding of photography, lighting, and wildlife, but to develop a life-long admiration for Africa ‘s beauty and culture.

Banana Republic recently used my photographs as the cornerstone of their Urban Safari campaign, and my images were seen in all 750 stores around the globe, as well as in their billboards, catalogs and annual report. I was also the winner of the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year in the ‘Wild Places’ category in 2008 and a highly commended in the ‘Creative Visions of Nature’ category in 2007.

I launched Gura Gear in 2008, in an attempt to deliver lightweight camera bags to the market. I was looking for a lightweight camera bag to hold all of my photographic gear, and there was nothing desirable on the market that suited my needs. After spending 2 years with many prototypes, the Gura Gear Kiboko bag was born. More products are now available on the Gura Gear web site.

I am headed for Alaska

I am off shooting grizzlies for the next 6 days, photographing grizzly bears in Lake Clark National Park, Alaska. The workshop will only consist of 6 people, and from all the news I am hearing from the area, the photographic opportunities should be stellar. The flight to Anchorage will be over 7 hours long, and my mp3 player recently cratered on me. Not good. But that gives me time to do some writing for a book I have been working on for over 2 years. Essentially a 'how-to' book on how to photograph with digital equipment out on safari.

When I return, I will be posting a few more 2007 safaris online, 1 of which will be an alumni safari in late September 2007 with 100% luxury camping in remote areas (with electricity, of course). We will also head down south to the Selous in southern Tanzania. I will have 2 other safaris that will be announced: 1 in June 2007 and 1 in early September 2007.

Arches & Canyonlands Workshop

We are headed to the the epicenter of red rock country to photograph the inspiring arches, balanced rocks and spires of Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park. If you have never photographed in the Moab, Utah area, you owe it to yourself to witness some of the most famous geological formations in the American West. This is the time of year with very few visitors to these parks, so we will avoid the crowds and have the area to ourselves. This workshop will be both field instruction and also a day of hands-on digital workflow time.
