THE ROYAL ONE
There’s a certain allure about leopards. No matter how many times I’ve seen and photographed them over the years as a safari guide, ‘the itch’ to photograph them never goes away. Their secretive nature and ability to disappear within seconds makes photographing them all the more rewarding. In 2022, I laid my eyes on a melanistic leopard for the first time, and let’s just say, it’s taken ‘the itch’ to a whole new level!
