Here is a new area of photography I have tried, BOUDOIR. Some may shy away from these, but I think although provocative some are actually telling more of a story than just sex. Trust, cultural acceptance and beauty.

Etosha national park totally took me by surprise. In the North Western corner of Namibia, it is a truly wonderful place to go on safari. When I visited it was dry season and this meant a great amount of animals were around waterholes therefore very easy to spot all kinds of animals drinking and grazing […]
