About the Item

"Placing a well positioned remote camera with a wide angle lens allows for unique and intimate images. It is as if the rhino is walking out of the frame. This shot was a big moment for me. This was my first real success with remotes and has always reminded me that it’s worth going for the low percentage opportunities, because the rewards are so much greater when you do pull it off. Seeing the three dimensionality for the first time made it clear to me that photographing dangerous wildlife with wide angle lenses from intimate viewpoints was the way forward. " Road Block, Lewa, Kenya. 20% of sales goes to support Lewa Conservancy Available sizes 18"x22.97" Edition of 15 30"x38.29" Edition of 15 40"x51.05" Edition of 15 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.
