Wild Africa - Alex Bernasconi, Preface by Saba Douglas-Hamilton

From a totally fresh perspective, with unique access to some of the remotest regions and species living beyond the confines of captivity, Wild Africa is a contemporary photographic record that takes you into the heart of one of the worlds last natural paradises. The result of painstaking expeditions across the continent, Alex Bernasconis photographic document contains some of the most novel, surprising and spectacular images of Africa and its wildlife. This is an off-road Africa, with moments of true beauty and natural delicacy that shows the full splendour of wildlife at one with the landscape, whilst preserving its raw immediacy. In the one thousand eight hundred images a week that Bernasconi takes of some of natures finest and most endangered animals, wildlife photography is embodied at its most honest and creative. Wild Africa depicts some of Africas most voluptuous vistas alongside the worlds most treasured wildlife discovered off-guard, at its most powerful and endearing. These are unique images by a photographer motivated to preserve for posterity the most exceptional panoramas of wildlife in its true habitat that we have today. This is a visual testament of the best of our planet. It is an enduring legacy to inspire the ecological generation.
