LionAid Photographers

 Martin has been interested in photography all his life. He studied at a local college to achieve qualifications in a number of disciplines although his main interest has always been landscape and wildlife photography. In 2007 he visited Finland to photograph brown bears in the wild and he has photographed tigers in India. It was probably, however, his first visit to Kenya which really inspired him. Having spent time in the Masai Mara, where he photographed African wildlife, Martin hopes to inspire others to take an active interest in this magnificent but fragile environment, which unless protected may be lost to future generations.

Born in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe and then raised in South Africa, Steve has spent most of his life exploring southern Africa.

"I am a missionary in the country of Tanzania. We live in a small village called Same (pronounced SAH-may). Our house sits about 1 km from the front gate to Tanzania’s newest game park: Mkomazi.

We call our home in the US to be the state of Arkansas, so you will see many landscapes of Arkansas, pictures of zoo animals, and, of course, African wildlife."
