Many of my photographs are planned for months sometimes years... I know it seems crazy, but it's part of the fun for me. We've talked about getting this photo for several years now and last night I finally got the shot. We visited an authentic Masai Village outside of the Mara in Kenya. After spending some time with the people we took photographs of the Masai Warriors as they danced around a campfire with the Milky Way rising in the background. This photograph was incredibly challenging to achieve and took a lot of planning and some luck. The final image was a Panorama created from 27 separate pictures and will print at over 10 feet wide. This image is a closeup of the warriors which makes it easier to see their faces. Enjoy! I also want to give a big thank you to Ryan Plakonouris for scouting this location ahead of time and driving on this amazing trip. WorldPix is now offering Safaris and Photographic Workshops in Africa and the U.S. If you are interested in joining us on an upcoming trip please message me and I'll put you on our list as we're planning several exciting trips for the next 18 months. All proceeds from the photographs we sell or the Safaris and Workshops we put on go back to support local causes in the country we are visiting. This year alone we will support over 20 separate charities around the world which is the most exciting part for me. Reach out to me if you would like to get involved!
