About the Item

If you look closely, I have taken a self-portrait of myself in a Land Rover within the cheetah’s eyes. It is always a thrilling experience being in the company of the world’s fasted land mammal, especially when they allow you to be within just a few meters. The situation for wildlife in Africa can appear bleak at times, but there are a great number of success stories out there. We need to take the positive stories and use them to help and encourage others to make the same decisions. The biodiversity on this planet is extremely resilient and can bounce back if given the chance. We must ensure that it does not become too late as our own future depends on our planet, and its biodiversity. " The Cheetah and I, Borana, Kenya. 20% of sales goes to support Borana Conservancy Available sizes 18" x 18.46" Edition of 8 28" x 28.70" Edition of 8 38" x 38.96" Edition of 6 Wildlife fine art photographer and conservationist, James Lewin, is entirely self-taught and first became interested in photography whilst in Kenya.
