Kenya
My first trip to Africa was incredible. We traveled through Kenya, staying in remote campsites to photograph wildlife up close and experience the land more fully. Along the way, I captured daily life scenes across villages and had the honor of meeting members of the Samburu and Maasai tribes—rich in culture and tradition.
This journey through Kenya was one of connection—between people and place, light and shadow, the observer and the observed. Stay tuned as I share more images and stories from this unforgettable experience. Prints from this series will be available soon. For more behind-the-scenes, follow along on social media. Thank you for coming on this journey with me.

People & Culture
As we drove between safari destinations, I found myself drawn to the everyday beauty of Kenyan life. From roadside markets to quiet village paths, I captured a variety of “day in the life” moments—snapshots of daily routines filled with rhythm, resilience, and grace. Along the way, I had the honor of meeting and photographing members of the Samburu and Maasai tribes. Their hospitality, tradition, and striking presence were deeply moving and a highlight of the journey.
Samburu National Reserve
Our first stop brought us to Samburu National Reserve in northern Kenya—a rugged, semi-arid landscape known for its rich red earth and striking wildlife. The reserve’s unique ecosystem offered encounters with species rarely seen elsewhere: Grevy’s zebras, gerenuks, and Somali ostriches. Towering doum palms and dry riverbeds created a dramatic backdrop, and the light here—golden, dusty, ever-shifting—was unforgettable. It was the perfect start to our time on safari, full of quiet mornings, vast silence, and the occasional thrill of something unexpected on the horizon.
Lake Nakuru
From there, we made our way to Lake Nakuru—a shimmering alkaline lake known for its flocks of flamingos and large populations of rhinos. The lush forest and open plains surrounding the lake created a contrasting terrain from Samburu, and the photography opportunities were equally diverse. The interplay of water, wildlife, and color made Nakuru feel like a painter’s palette in motion.
Maasai Mara
No trip to Kenya would be complete without a visit to the Maasai Mara. This iconic stretch of savanna is where I truly felt the wild come alive. Herds of elephants moved through the tall grass, lions lounged in the heat of the day, and cheetahs scanned the plains with quiet intensity. The Mara’s vastness is hard to describe—limitless skies, undulating hills, and a sense of freedom that defies words. We timed our visit just after the Great Migration, and still the plains pulsed with life. Each sunrise brought something new. Each evening, a new story.
