Someone who stares at patterns for too long.

In black and white, the stripes become something else entirely. The image simplifies to line and texture, and what stands out is the symmetry of the face, the alert ears, the direct gaze.

I love zebras in monochrome. The stripes do the work the color usually does. The light sits differently. The whole frame becomes about geometry and attention.

This one is available as a fine art print. And if you've been thinking about where you'd want to photograph wildlife next, send me a DM. I'd love to hear it.

The dust hung in the air, backlit.

It caught the light the way dust does in Africa, where there is no pavement to hold things down. Everything kicks it up. Elephants. Impala. The wind. Even standing still, you are standing in it.

This elephant was walking through it at sunrise, slow and unbothered, and the light turned everything amber and soft.

Looking right at you from the middle of dense vegetation.

Mountain gorillas spend most of their time foraging and moving through thick undergrowth like this. The trekking can be muddy and steep, but the moment you find them it goes quiet in a way that feels bigger than silence.

This one had settled into the vegetation to rest when we arrived. Direct eye contact with a gorilla is something I've been lucky enough to experience more than once, and each time it feels like something I wasn't supposed to be allowed.

Where would you most want to photograph wildlife if you could go anywhere?

A buffalo, completely unbothered by the attention.

We waited for a while at this sighting. Cameras up, engines off. The rest of the herd was somewhere behind us, but this one was grazing alone and perfectly calm.

It's easy to forget how much of safari is just sitting. Waiting for the animal to do something interesting. Sometimes that thing is nothing at all, and you sit there anyway because you might miss it if you leave.

This is the work. The patient part that no one sees until it shows up in a photo later.

If you've ever thought about what it's like to photograph wildlife in the field, or you've wanted to come see it yourself, send me a message. I'd love to tell you about the trips I'm planning next.

I've always been drawn to the color green. The calming tranquility of a lush forest. Is there a color that speaks to your soul like that?

I got an extra passenger on this walk in Madagascar.

Lemurs are curious. This one climbed my backpack; it felt less like a wildlife encounter and more like I had been assessed and approved as furniture.

I left a corporate job in 2022 after a trip to Kenya. I have photographed on all seven continents since then, mostly wildlife and wild places. I make fine art prints and I lead small-group trips for people who want to see the world the way I do. Slowly, with patience, and with enough time to sit still when something interesting happens.

Direct eye contact with a Bengal tiger.

Black and white strips away distraction. The stripes, the whiskers, the shape of the face. The way this tiger looked straight through the lens.

I did not set out to photograph animals looking at the camera. It wasn't a technique or style I chose. But I kept ending up with these moments where the animal stopped what it was doing and looked.

Not curiosity, exactly. Not posing. Something more like consideration. A long appraisal that lasted a few seconds and felt considerably longer.

The gorilla in the highlands, waiting out the rain. The serval paused in the grass. The tiger walking straight toward us. Each time, the same steady gaze.

Which one stops you the longest?

A jackal running full speed at dawn and the motion turned everything to streaks of gold and gray.

I slowed the shutter just enough to let the movement show. The blur is intentional. What you're left with is the feeling of speed and power without the sharp edges.

This one is available as a giclée print on Hahnemühle Ultra Smooth Photo Rag, 20 x 30 inches, at https://hangdallas.com/products/passing-through-gold

Four of my pictures earned Silver distinction at this year's Australian Photographic Prize, and "Nowhere to Be" and "When the Light Fades" won second and third place in the International Wildlife category.

I am incredibly humbled and grateful to be recognized and to receive such thoughtful feedback from the judges.

I've been photographing since I was thirteen. I never took a class, just taught myself and never stopped framing things in my head. For years it was something I did around everything else. Then Kenya happened in 2022, and I came home and built this instead.

Awards like this one feel like proof that I chose the right path. That the waiting, the early mornings, the hours spent watching animals do nothing, all of it matters.

Thank you to the Australian Photographic Prize and to everyone who has followed along, traveled with me, or put one of these images on a wall.

More soon.
