Inseparable cowgirl Nudity in African wildlife photographs

Nudity in African wildlife photographs can sometimes appear gratuitous and exploitative but I hope this image simply conveys grace

I led with a cowboy called Cody - he had a very real presence about him - not dissimilar to the badass character “Rip Wheeler” in Taylor Sheridan’s excellent melodrama Yellowstone

The owner – who has long been a reputable collector of photographs – was spellbound and I was humbled as he gathered his friends and family around the print

It may be dubbed the “Venice of Africa

but I knew I wanted to film Vito working his craft in there because the backdrop is ridiculously good
