Namibia has an incredible biodiversity with its magnificent red sand dunes and vast arid landscapes in the West, and savannah, grasslands, salt pans, thorn-veld and tall acacia trees in the East
It is home to the second largest desert in the world, the ‘Namib’, which is estimated to be between 55 - 80 million years old, the oldest on the planet.
The intriguing and thought provoking experience of standing in these landscapes is often understated and enigmatic by nature. The very destinies of future generations and their sustainability can be changed right here for eternity, I think.
I had last been in Namibia 40 years ago and the time had finally come for me to revisit this magical place. So using my prior knowledge of the sheer dimension of those landscapes, I decided to take my wide angle, high resolution camera gear out and embarked on the 4,500km journey to capture the essence of this incredible place.
Most of my photographs were captured as panoramas, this being the best aspect ratio to give the viewer a true reflection and sense of the vastness of these incredible ancient landscapes.
