NEAL COOPER
CEO | Tour Leader | Mentor
As a nature and wildlife photographer with a penchant for bird photography, my passion lies in capturing the grace and freedom of birds in flight. Over two decades of experience, I've been honoured to lead photography tours to some of the world's most enchanting destinations.
My frequent tour destinations include the Maasai Mara in Kenya, Etosha in Namibia, the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in South Africa, and Chobe in Botswana. I’ve been fortunate to achieve recognition for my work, winning the Trierenberg Nature Photography Salon in 2016 and receiving multiple local and international Salon medals.
One memorable experience during a photo safari in the Kgalagadi involved facing a massive Kalahari sand and rainstorm. Despite the challenging conditions, the resilience and determination of nature photographers, including our enthusiastic clients, left a lasting impression. Nature photographers are indeed a special breed, embracing the elements for the love of their craft.
My approach to photography involves patience, whether waiting for the perfect moment to capture a wildlife sighting or teaching the intricacies of editing in a boardroom setting. For me, nature and wildlife photography are not just about creating beautiful images but also about sharing the knowledge and joy that come with the art.
