Wildlife & Nature Shortlist

Home is Where The Horse is follows a herd of wild horses inhabiting the Bot river estuary at the Rooisand Nature Reserve, in the Overberg region of South Africa. As an equestrian with a broad knowledge of equine behaviour, on extremely rare occasions I would insert myself in their presence as a respectful observer; non-threatening and mindful to avoid any form of dependence, trust or disruption. Over the past decade I have found this to be a deeply personal and healing process.

I am a South African photographer, writer, musician and parent currently based, with my family, between Cape Town and Hanoi, Vietnam.
