About the Item
"Almost exactly a year after I took one of my strongest images, “Drought” I found my lens once again pointed in the direction of two fighting zebras. There are clear similarities and differences between the two. The obvious similarity is that both frames display zebras reared up and in heated battle, but here a far more endangered species is shown. There are roughly 2,500 Grevy’s Zebra’s left in Africa with the vast majority being located in Northern Kenya. The Lewa / Borana Landscape is simply the best place to photograph them.
The challenge that comes with photographing in Borana is that in almost every direction there are huge rocky hills making a clean background a real difficulty. I find big skies so important in my photography to accentuate the drama within the scene. My usual way to combat this is to use wide angle lenses from a ground up perspective but the grass was too long, and the subjects chased and fought for over 10 minutes moving considerable distances which made remote photography impossible. Therefore, unlike in “Drought”, I selected a telephoto lens, but stayed as low as possible to ensure the Zebra’s heads were set against a minimal background.
I was lucky enough to witness this epic duel but equally lucky that they reared up in such a dramatic way just 15 metres from me. Much of the fight took part behind trees and bushes some distance away. The beautifully backlit scene is what truly brings this image alive. It is as if the grass has turned into flames and the clouds into smoke. Nothing else would do for a duel at dusk.

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.
