Every picture tells a story
Photography has the ability to carry people elsewhere. To place them inside an experience, close to the land, the wildlife and the atmosphere that defines a place. My work focuses on translating lived moments into visual stories that feel immersive and present, allowing viewers to sense what it is like to be there. Over the years, this has taken me across Africa, working with lodges, safari companies and local communities. What you see here is a selection of visual narratives shaped by place, rhythm and human connection.
Fiery Passion
Mgeni Mzima
Mgeni Mzima
Meet Mgeni Mzima. Passionate about cooking from a young age, his determination to become a chef led to various stints in some of the world’s most esteemed kitchens. But it is back home as Tulia Zanzibar’s executive chef that he feels most at home.
You can taste it in the more than 400 fragrant flowers and plants he grows in his garden. And you can taste it in his exquisite dishes, like this vegan ceviche with passionfruit dressing that was almost too pretty to eat. Almost.
Happy Sailing
Safari Blue
Safari Blue
Safari Blue in the Zanzibari town of Fumba organises sea excursions on traditional dhows made according to traditional methods but equipped with modern navigation instruments. What an enthralling day it was out on the water: a relaxed cruise, some snorkeling for good measure and, of course, a sumptuous lunch on our very own private island.
Safari Blue dedicate themselves to honouring the local traditions, protecting the environment and caring for the people of Zanzibar, starting with their own staff and crew. Many of whom have been with the company since it began in 1996.
