To watch in awe –наблюдать в благоговении

have been taking photographs ever since I was a young child. It was my father who encouraged me. He was a keen amateur photographer, and, knowing what an enjoyable pastime it was, he wanted to share it with both my sister and myself.

My grandfather was also keen on photography, so you could say my father kept up a family tradition! My childhood is full of happy memories of my father and me going on weekend trips with our cameras. Looking back now, it was a wonderful way to spend quality time together. The summer I turned fifteen, I won the Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.

Africa two years earlier, was of a pride of lions eating an antelope. I remember I had sat for hours in the sun waiting patiently for the perfect shot. My father entered my photograph in the competition without my knowledge.

He told me afterwards it was because he wanted to encourage me. He certainly did that! You can’t imagine my amazement when I found out I had won. That was the moment when I realised beyond all doubt what it was I wanted to do with my life. At fifteen, I knew a career in photography was for me.

the top photography colleges on the east coast. I chose one in New York and started there immediately after I finished school. In my final year there, I won a summer apprenticeship at the National Geographic Society. They must have liked my work because after I graduated, I was offered a job with them. Next month, I will have been working for them for two decades! For me, photography is most definitely about art. Being able to appreciate colour, lighting, shadow and texture, for instance, will help you get the best shots.

But equally as important are the technical aspects of photography. It’s not just a case of point and shoot. You need to know what type of camera, shutter speed, exposure, and so on and so forth, is going to capture your subject and the moment best. If you don’t have this technical knowledge, you can produce results you really like but without knowing why they worked or how to reproduce them.

months - of travel on the road when you are on assignment. These long periods of absence can cause a strain on family relationships, although I am happy to say that I have never particularly had any problems of that nature. And for me, the opportunity to travel the world, to see places and things that most people can only dream of, makes up for any disadvantages. I never get bored in my profession.

I have been in the deepest, darkest depths of the Amazon rainforest, trekked across the deserts of Africa, sailed the wild seas of Antarctica. I have stared into the eyes of a snow leopard and watched in awe as a million wildebeest cross the African plains. But out of all the things I’ve seen and experienced, I think the most important thing I’ve gained is a deep appreciation of the incredible wonders of nature and the beauty of our planet. Nothing compares to that.”
