WHITE LINES
Lewa Downs, Kenya – 2020

This photograph - taken a few days ago in Lewa Downs in Kenya - was preconceived, but the execution, as many will know, is damn tough.

Grevy's zebra - by far the most aesthetically spoilt of the species - are skitiish and do not tend to allow a vehicle too close.

After a while, they get fed up and the best chance is always in the first few minutes. A telephoto lens can mitigate the problem, but only so far. The key thing is to have an excellent driver who knows exactly what your intent is and can manage a jeep in the bumpiest of terrains.

My driver, guide and friend - Andy Campbell - tried with me for two days, a month ago, and all I got was a sore arse. But we came back, with new ideas and in particular a new lens, and we finally got what we were looking for.

It’s a bit like fishing I guess, you simply have to put in the time and know your detail.
