ENTRY DESCRIPTION
I took this photo on the dry lakebed of Kenya's Amboseli national park. The landscape was incredibly vast and desolate. Buy photographing from a distance I was able to place my subject in its beautiful and stark environment, without disturbing it. This is a Maasai giraffe.

AUTHOR
Meet the artist: For over two decades South African born Greg du Toit has been solely devoted to photographing Africa’s wildlife. His fine art collections have been shown from New York to Singapore and his work has hung in natural history museums from Canada to Australia. His solo exhibition, ‘Authentic Africa’, hosted by the National Geographic gallery on London’s Regent Street was a sell-out. The BBC Wildlife magazine featured the article, ‘A Waiting Game', detailing his 270 hours spent sitting inside a Kenyan waterhole. He is the author of three books: AWE, a coffee-table book containing a decade’s worth of imagery and Getting it right in camera, a how-to book for wildlife photographers. Wilderness Dreaming is the title of his African memoir, filled with wild bush adventures in his search of his lost Africa. A past recipient of the acclaimed title of BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year, he has been interviewed by the BBC World Service, appeared on NBC’s TODAY show and has, as a guest speaker, delivered presentations as far afield as northern Finland. Through his online galleries, GDT limited-edition prints bring Africa to the walls of homes worldwide. Greg regularly donates his prints to both humanitarian and wildlife charities.
