About the Item
"I have been predominately unsatisfied with my Rhino photographs of the past, as I have struggled to achieve clean backgrounds with lots of sky which I find so important in my approach. This often makes White Rhino superior subjects as they are grazers as oppose to browsers. You don’t often find Black Rhino out in the open.
When I found these two White Rhino at the top of a hill in Borana, I knew I had the chance at something as I waited for the right composition to present itself. This is the only photograph in the sequence where the Rhino’s backs actually cross and where they were at the same distance from me, allowing them both to be in sharp focus. All the other photographs do not work, as a gap between the backs leads our eye into the distance, ruining the composition.
This image is a reminder about how important it is to be patient in wildlife photography, and to spend as much time with your subjects as possible.

Wildlife fine art photographer and conservationist, James Lewin, is entirely self-taught and first became interested in photography whilst in Kenya. Alongside his love of photography, James is an ardent conservationist and in partnership with Isabella Garrucho Fine Art we donates 20% of all image sales directly back to the conservation charities in the areas where the images were taken. Organizations like the Big Life Foundation, The Serengeti Cheetah Project, Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, Tsavo Trust, Borana Conservancy, The Mara Elephant Project and Lewa Conservancy, These organizations mission it is to protect the Elephants, Lions, Giraffes, Rhinos and Leopards he photographs along with their natural habitat.
James's photographs are offered in 3 different printing formats / styles:
Small Archival Pigment Prints:
The most commonly used among professional photographers. Pigment Prints are made by digital inkjet printers, which mix ink to create specific hues. The ink is then applied directly to paper in fine detail.
Medium / Large Silver Gelatin Prints:
The gold standard in black and white printing which surpasses archival pigment prints in longevity, quality and detail.
Premium Edition Platinum Palladium Prints:
The prints selected are made in a darkroom and were very popular in the late 19th century. It uses platinum palladium as the light-sensitive material and has the very best archival rating of any print over 2,000+ years.
This photograph will be printed once payment has been received and will ship directly from the printer the artist works with. Your certificate of authenticity will be shipped separately from your print and in most cases will ship directly from the gallery.
The Gallery is more than happy to provide clients with the next available edition number, however, the Gallery can only guarantee the specific edition number the client will receive once payment has been received.
